Hi,

We have a problem in which when the page file of our NT computer is
increased to 3.7 GB, running InstallShield gives:

Insufficient memory available to run Setup. Close all other
applications to make more memory available and try to run Setup again.

Error 111.

Is there anything I can do to make the install successful with the page
file at this size?

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

I don't know whether it will. It may be a limitation of the 16-bit WOW
subsystem on NT that causes this problem.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand. How would increasing the page file size
affect WOW? Is InstallShield running as a 16-bit Win 3.x app?

The initial setup.exe is a 16-bit stub that launches the appropriate
install engine.

If you work on IS 5.5 and target only 32-bit applications, then you can use
the 32-bit setup.exe.

Thanks for replying!

Just to be clear, it sounds like with the InstallShield free edition, you can
only use the 16 bit setup, and in order to use the 32 bit setup, I would have
to use InstallShield Professional 5.5......is that correct?

Chris.

You can write a 32-bit setup with either, but to use the 32-bit setup.exe
stub, you must have IS 5.5 (it is a new feature in IS5.5).

O.K., we're now considering getting the IS 5.5 Professional. Once I get it, how
easy is it to crank out the install image with the 32-bit setup.exe? What would I
have to do to set this up?

Thanks,

Chris.

No problem at all. Just open your project in IS 5.5, then click on the
Media Build button, and then selecting the "32-bit setup.exe" option in the
same pane that you select the target OS.
