BUG #: 1526 (plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
If you are running Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition version 4.0 with the /3GB switch enabled on a computer that has 4 GB RAM installed, the setup fails during OLAP Services installation with the following error message:

Error 111 - Not enough Memory.



WORKAROUND
You can work around the problem by performing the following steps:
 * 1) Edit the Boot.ini file in the system drive and remove the /3GB switch from the start up line.
 * 2) Save the Boot.ini file and then reboot the computer.
 * 3) Run Setup to install OLAP Services.
 * 4) Edit the Boot.ini file in the system drive again and add back the /3GB switch to the start up line.
 * 5) Save the Boot.ini file and then reboot the computer again.

The Boot.ini file should look similar to the following: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition Version 4.00" /3GB multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SQL Server OLAP Services version 7.0.
