you might have noticed that, VISTA refused to install on the machine consisting 256 MB RAM.
Now you can install Vista on 256 MB RAM machine replacing the file on your DVD or Source.
Eg:- X:\vista\sources\winsetup.dll

But it is not recommended to install VISTA on just 256MB RAM. Hope u upgrade ur RAM soon

Download Patched Winsetup.dll

thanx for this trick. It will help to low-RAM users

[Nepali]

yeah neo..
definately, it will help those who got 256 or 384 MB of RAM.
But, will they satisfied with the performance ?

Hopefully Nuhi adds this to vLite in later versions.

If you patch winsetup and install, it'll install on 320MB of RAM, or 256MB in a VM. It removes the RAM check, although there are features of Vista (like Media Center) I wouldn't suggest running, even on 512MB of RAM.

[geniusguy256]

can it be run in virtual pc?? or even on my old pc??? give me some help pls!! even on my low processor?? i there any patch or crack that helps to bypass these checks by vista??

[cluberti]

The patch to bypass the check for RAM is winsetup.dll in this thread. And yes, it'll run on Virtual PC, just without any Aero.

But it'll run like crap

E$exactly what i needed to play with vista in VMware, until my new machine is all built and shipped, thanks for that!

Hi,
I try this this morning, but nothing work ! Windows vista ask me again that there is not enough memory
I put the DLL file in dvdsource\sources\ : nothing
Then i mount the install.wim and replace the original one : dvdources\mount\windows\system32\oobe\ : nothing
Windows doen't install itself

MayBe did we need to put this dll file into the Boot.wim ?

If anyone try this, please share a little simple tuto for others !!

PS : i try just an other release shared by a friend, i copy the sources files then when i look in with Vlite : 256 mb was
fixed automatically but when i look in my release, 256 Mb is fixed to default and doen't accept to be fixed in 256 mb at all
It's strange !!

Thanks for whom who can help me !!
Best regards

[thegorre]

Hi eveybody...
I've just try another test, i just copy the Boot.wim coming from a little release shared by a friend
This relase can install itself with only 256 mb.
So i copy this boot.wim into my original DVD source, then create a new ISO without using Vlite
I try to boot then no problemo !!!! so it seems to be something into the Boot.wim !
I am installing Windows Enterprise now... so i turn back to you if i got some more info

Ciao

[thegorre]

Hi,
When the first step of installation ended (uncompress image, etc...) The installation gives me this error
windows could not set the offline local information error 0x800000001

So there is a problem...

[amocanu]

why would you want to install Vista in 256 Mb of RAM? not even 512 is enough for it

[gosh]

Even better than hexing files is a command switch to bypass the hardware restrictions:

setup.exe /nosyscheck

-gosh

vLite can also remove the hardware installation requirements, if I am not mistaken.

[ridebmx anthony]

hey i run vista ultimate x86 on 512mb ram it runs amazing maybe u should experience it before your judge it!

Yes it may, but for me,.... didn't works with Vlite ,it crashes at installation, and so that's why he put the patched dll here. Maybe he knew this thing before come you and post without a bit little thinking.

Thank you Nepali for let me to download it!!!

I have 1,4 AMD Thunderbird CPu , 256 SDRAM, 40 GB Hitachi HDD, Radeon 9250 SE 128/128. And Vista run's very well on it.

[medhunter]

[ripken204]

people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for vista but they cant get a gig of ram which costs $40 now?
