Win 2003 Insufficient Memory

Dave from Melbourne reported that he would get an "Insufficient Memory" error message when install WinRT on Win2003 with 2GB of Ram.

Early investigation showed that the problem did not appear in Windows XP with 2GB.

The problem did also not appear on Win 2003 with 1.5GB Ram and 2Gb of Swap file.

The problem was located in Install shield.

the biggest type in InstallShield is "Number", max size is 2,147,483,647

This means that Installshield cannot correctly handle the amount of memory in Dave's computer without having an Owerflow.

We have coded around the Overflow and the Currently released WinRT 3.4.5 can install on Windows 2003 Server with 2GB of Ram. :-)

WinRT Upgrading Version

Many people ask :

What is the difference between the "Free" and the "Commercial" version of WinRT.


Currently there is only one difference.

The commercial version will Upgrade an existing WinRT 3.0.16 installation to WinRT 3.4.5 and Retain all Tickets.

You cannot install the Free version on top of the WinRT 3.0.16, you have to uninstall 3.0.16 first.

We have had some problems with when running WinRt Upgrading version from other drives than the drive where WinRt was installed. A New version fixing this problem has been uploaded.
