Insufficient Memory Error Using Internet Explorer 2.0

• Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.0 for Windows 3.1

SYMPTOMS

After you run the SETUP.EXE from an Internet explorer 2.0 Package for Windows 3.1 in Package Command Manager (PCM), you get an "insufficient memory" error.

CAUSE

PCM executes the command, which is Setup.exe, as expected. Setup will extract Acmsetup from the .cab file, start it, and terminate. After the termination PCM of course closes the connection to SMS_PKGD because Setup.exe terminated without errors, but Acmsetup needs the connection to complete.

RESOLUTION

1. Use EXTRACT.EXE to extract all files from IEW31_1.CAB in a new directory.

2. Add the files Files.inf, Setup.ini and Iew31_1.cab from the original setup directory, so that the files in the new directory are:

         _Mssetup.exe
         Acmsetup.exe
         Acmsetup.hlp
            Basic.dll
         Comctlie.dll
            Files.inf
          Iew31_1.cab
         Internet.stf
          License.txt
         Mscpydis.dll
          Mssetup.dll
           Readme.txt
            Setup.ini
          Setup31.dll
         Stacdial.inf
   
   

3. Create a Run Command on Workstation Package and use the commandline:

         ACMSETUP /T internet.stf
   

4. Create a job for this package and send it to the clients.
