RE: XP Home and FM6?
Not a problem with XP Home specifically, but rather with the supplier installer routine - I had the same issues with XP Pro. It appears that the virtual memory check in the installer interprets large values of free disk space/VM as Negative values. Another work-around is to temporarily set the VM down to a small figure (like 256 MB) and then the autorun installer will happily proceed 'normally' Don't forget to reset the value back to your standard setting. Note that this requires a reboot after changing the value, so just running setup.exe directly is both easier and quicker, but this is another option.

It appears that the virtual memory check in the installer interprets large values of free disk space/VM as Negative values. Yes. Over 2 GB available memory (this is common in today's machines given real and virtual memory usage) probably gets interpreted as a negative number! A typical old problem with using a signed 32 bit integer to hold this value ... people know better nowadays. Another work-around is to temporarily set the VM down to a small figure (like 256 MB) If you have 2 GB of real RAM installed (not common yet ... but will be soon!) then even this approach is not enough. You may have to remove some RAM to get this old version to install (if the other workaround mentioned does not work). People need to bite the bullet and upgrade to later versions of FM. I suspect low cost 7.2 upgrades will become available soon enough. And, yes, I can appreciate that some people might have difficulty with justifying even that price, I suppose, but if you can afford to add 2 GB of RAM, then ... :) The new laptop mentioned below probably has a lot of main memory and probably cost a bundle! :) Z On Wednesday, August 22, 2007 09:54 AM, Rick Quatro wrote: | Hi Ragnar, | | Try skipping the autorun installer and navigate to the FrameMaker | folder on the CD.

Go back to the box, read over the minimum requirements, and make sure this laptop meets all of them. In particular, check the video and make sure it's set for at least 256 colors.

Hi Ragnar, Try skipping the autorun installer and navigate to the FrameMaker folder on the CD. See if you can run the Setup.exe directly from there.
