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. :-)

This is still a problem with the downloaded installer. Is there a workaround?

I am seeing the same memory issue when I attempt to install on a Windows 2000 Server system with 1.5GB RAM and 2048MB of swap.
I used the latest 3.4.5 Beta 2 release.

Just had this problem this morning, it said:
Not enough memory for successful installation of SecureScout WinRT - please allocate at least 1GB of virtual memory before continuing!
But changing my default pagingfile from 2GB to 3GB solved it, yes it was sized from 2 to 4 GB.
Yes - Im running Windows XP Professional with 2GB of memory. But the installer said:
