Problem Note 8158: During a SAS installation, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
installation program might fail on PCs with extended memory
The Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installation program might
fail during the system components update portion of the SAS installation
if the PC has extended memory.
This is a bug in the Sun installation program caused by a memory
checking routine that cannot handle extended memory.
The JRE installation program can be found on the SAS Setup CD in
srw\redist\jre\j2re-1_3_1_03-win.exe.
The workaround is to run the JRE install program interactively by using
the -a and -z options to disable the memory checking routine. See the
following examples:
From the Setup CD:
<CD Drive>:\srw\redist\jre\j2re-1_3_1_03-win.exe -a -z
From an Administrator image:
<drive>:\Disk1\srw\redist\jre\j2re-1_3_1_03-win.exe -a -z
