Answer» Hello.
I'm running ms dos 6.22 on virtualbox. When I attach a floppy disk image on drive A and run INSTALL.EXE it SAYS "Program too big to fit in memory".
I set my base memory to 32MB.
What can I do?What program are you trying to install with Install.exe? Perhaps the software checks for space PRIOR to installation and the program needs greater than 32MB whereas the Floppy only has 1.44MB maximum on it.MS-DOS executables have their minimum memory REQUIREMENTS (conventional memory) coded into their headers. "Program too big to fit in memory" is an MS-DOS error which means you do not have ENOUGH free conventional memory.
You can check free memory using mem /c.
Though often it just means the executable is either corrupted or for a newer Windows OS.
