Insufficient memory error while installing JRE 1.2.2

Question

At the moment I am having some problems installing JRE 1.2.2 on a HP proliant DL380 G3 machine (with two XEON 2.8Gb processors) with windows 2000 SP 3 installed. The error is �Insufficient memory available to run setup. Close any programs�.. bla bla. Error 111�. While the machine has 4Gb of memory installed and only 200mb is in use.
I have tried 1.2.2.011 (Pentium 4 bug solved) and 1.2.2.014, both with the same result. Unfortunaly I need the 1.2.2 and can�t �switch� to version 1.3 or 1.4.
PS I also experienced almost the same problem while installing Oracle 8.1.7 on the same machine. And solved this by renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit.old and use the next installation options : JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms64m -mx128m
Has anyone seen this problem and solved it or is there any way to give some additional options to the JRE installer?
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I found a bug report at: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4643265.html
And there by the "work a round";
In order to install j2ee onto your server (with 4Gb or more) you might use one of those:
1) Pull some DIMMs out of your server till the memory is less
than 4g. Install j2ee and than put the DIMMs back.
2) Install j2ee on the other machine and than just copy
installed directories over to your server.
I will test the second option tomorrow.
