Thanks guys, the install is taking forever but I am glad to hear that at least it will install. We are using this as a demo while we get the production system online on VMWare ESX with multiple servers and more than enough memory and processors. I will tell you this, on the laptop the Mid-tier (when using an XML file to cache the main forms) runs pretty smooth when opening the CMDB console and other consoles like AR System Administration. Of course the real test will be the Incident Mgt console and the HPD:Help Desk form. I will update when finished.

(I assume the install was done on a > 4GB machine -- then saved as a VM -- then copied to the 4GB machine) Once on the 4GB laptop - the VM took 1.5 hours to bootup. Once it booted up -- it appeared to run fine -- but really - nothing was done -- just opened a few screens. I am told the BMC SEs are getting laptop refreshes - because the 4 GB laptop is unacceptable - especially for demos. (I did not even know you could get a laptop with > 4GB -- as 4GB is an interesting technical hurdle) So - I have seen it run on a 4GB laptop -- but not sure about how the install was done. -John -- John David Sundberg 235 East 6th Street, Suite 400B St. Paul, MN 55101 (651) 556-0930-work (651) 247-6766-cell (651) 695-8577-fax [email protected] On Mar 16, 2009, at 8:09 AM, Bilinski, John wrote: All, I am a little disturbed at a prompt I saw when I ran the ITSM 7.5 installer on a laptop with a total 4GB of RAM running Windows Server 2003 on MS Virtual PC with about 3GB of RAM dedicated to the virtual OS. During the install the installer told me that a minimum of 6GB of RAM is needed to successful install ITSM 7.5. The installer is still running, I will be it frozen that the stage "Executing install stage for FND system at 29%". Will my installation be successful? Is there anyone that has installed ITSM 7.5 on a system with under 6GB of RAM?
