Hi,

Has anyone successfully installed OEM 2.2. on their machine?

My test server has 256M more RAM coming, but in the meantime I haven't given up hope. Although hope is dwindling... I only have 380M of RAM.

I started the installation process, then went to talk to someone. When I returned there was a Blue Screen of Death waiting for me.

After powering off and powering on my machine, Peak Memory usage on my machine is at 680M of memory! Is this NT going crazy or does the Oracle Universal Installer really need that much memory to install OEM 2.2.? Could there be a creeping memory leak in the Universal Installer? (make that a galloping memory leak)

I allocated 1G of virtual memory, but I know from experience on this machine at least that NT can't handle virtual memory very well, it keeps blue screening when I exceed available physical memory by too much.

TIA
