Let me add my $.02 here. I hope this is readable since this is my first post
since reinstalling Netscape.
 
I believe the following question and answer address the original question of
this thread.
 
Question
 
The installation procedure reports that you have insufficient memory to
install SPSS 7.0 for Windows although you have at least 8MB of memory, the
minimum amount of physical memory (RAM) required to run SPSS.
 
Answer
 
There is a switch you may add to the RUN line that will allow the
installation procedure to continue. In the RUN dialog, enter the line:
 
           a:setup -NOENVFAIL
 
Make sure that you specify the correct drive letter (A or B), that there
is a space after 'setup', and that the actual switch, "-NOENVFAIL, is in
all capital letters.
 
This should allow normal installation.
