LabView Run-Time Installation Failure

[cukierm]

Hi

I am trying to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 20112 under a Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3 Versin 2002, but every time I open the executable file, the comand prompt returns the message "Program too big to fit in memory". The machine has 2Gb of RAM memory, with only 670Mb in use. The Hard disk has 17Gb of free space. I have also installed on the computer the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.6.

Could you support me in the installation ?

Tanks

Is that 2011 or 2012?

Have you tried donwloading it once more, maybe your download is corrupt. What is the file size of the download? 17GB free is not much on a modern drive. Maybe the drive is heavily fragmented? 

The newest 2011 version is actually 2011 SP1 32bit std. Have you tried that one?

Hi Altenbach

Tanks for the reply. I´ve downloaded 3 times, and the file was not corrupted. I believe that the disk space should be more than enough, because the installation file has about 180Mb only an the labView 8.6 engine that I have already installed uses about 148 Mb of disk space only.

It´s 2011. I have also tried the 2009, and 2010. All of them return the same error.

Windows Defrag tool say it is not necessary to disfragment the hard disk.

i am gonna try this version you have posted, it may work out.

The appointed version didn´t work out as well. A little bit more of information:

I am running the installation under a Virtual Machine. The windows of the host system has windows 7, and 4 Gb of RAM memory. The windows from the Virtual Machine has windows XP with 2 Gb of memory.

I tried to install the engine under the host, and it returns the same error. I am downloading the file in the windows 7, and transferring it to the windows XP by means of a pen drive.

Hello!

Did you solve the issue? I have the same problem (Message: Program too big to fit in memory) installing the Vision Module in a virtual machine with Windows XP (Windows Vista as host OS). I had no problem installing Labview (8.6) and I don't understand why can I not install the modules. The files are not corrupt because in Windows Vista they run OK. It seems as if Windows Explorer didn't recognise the executables files correctly.

Thanks.

I've seen installer-realted issues being a problem with an outdated Microsoft Installer.  (Link is here.)  I hope this helps.

Hello!

I tried installing the last version of the Windows Installer and the problem persisted.

First I was installing from a mounted ISO image as if it was a DVD inserted for the virtual Windows XP, so I tried installing from a copy of the ISO image in the virtual hard disk, which failed too. Then I tried installing the Windows Installer. Copy the installation files out of the ISO image didn't go well either. Finally, I copied the installation files to a usb flash memory, I installed the Virtual Machine Additions in the virtual Windows XP (because is necessary for reading usb flash memories) and I could perform the installation from the flash memory.

I can't yet understand why the OS recognises the executable files correctly in this last case and not in the others. They are the same files!!

Thanks!!

Totally strange.  I have no ideas on that one, but glad you got it to work.  🙂
