Hello,

I try to install Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 on a PC with 1 Gb
internal memory running XP Prof English SP2.
But when installing the option 'Embedded Visual Tools 3.0' the following
message appears:
---------------------------
Setup Initialization Error
---------------------------
There is insufficient memory to run Setup.

Try closing any open applications or restarting Windows.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

The other install options: 'Windows CE Platform SDK (H/PC Pro)', 'Windows CE
Platform SDK (Palm-size PC 1.2)' and 'Microsoft Platform SDK for Pocket PC'
install ok.

Even after removing some memory (to 512 MB) the problem remains.
Updating to Visual Tools 4 is not an option.

Is there a workaround?

With kind regards,

ISH

I found a way around this that works for me. I burned the installation files
onto a CD and started setup from there. This did the trick for me ....

good luck!

Thanks!  It looks like the installation application for embedded visual c++
4.0 has the same problem.  I guess it can't install from long paths and it's
errantly reporting this as OOM.

To install, for either version, burning a CD works, as does moving them to a
shorter path (such as C:\temp).

Thanks for the help nick, I would have been frustrated all night without the
help.
