Microsoft Office XP installation failing

Hi,

I am not being able to install Microsoft Office XP
using VirtualBox 1.6.2 on Fedora 8.

I get a "program too big to fit on memory".
I allocated 1GB or RAM for my Windows XP guest,
so this should not be the real issue here.

I also tested the Office XP installation CD on another computer running
a real Windows XP and it run just fine.

That is the only problem I had so far.
Any suggestion?

Thanks.

First try to reduce guest mem to 512 MB.

Is there sufficient free space in the VDI to fit the program? Is your VDI near to maxing out?

I got a similar response trying to install QuickTime to my last Vista guest... only had 70MB remaining in the fixed VDI I was using and QT needed ~150MB!
