User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

Each time I attempt to execute FirefoxSetup-0.9.1.exe under WinXP SP2 RC2, the 
installer opens a DOS command window, reports "Program too big to fit in 
memory" and then exits without installing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

3.




I am using a Compaq Presario 1510US notebook computer running Windows XP 
Professional recently patched with SP2 RC2 from Microsoft.  All other 
applications have been running without incident.  I have 512MB of RAM, and 
Task Manager reports 162MB of available RAM at the point of installer 
failure.  I have successfully installed Firefox 0.9.1 on other computers I 
own, including an IBM Thinkpad running Win2000 SP4, and a homebuilt Windows XP 
Professional machine, also runing SP2 RC2.

Can you please try 1.0's setup and see if this still happens?

Marking Invalid.  If the bug still occurs with current versions of Firefox, you
can refile.
