1654.0. "SETUP INIT ERROR INSTALLING ACCESS 95 ON AXP 2100" by PRMS00::GILLUS () Mon Apr 21 1997 02:48

    	When I attempt to install MS-Access 95, a Setup Initialization Error
    box contains the following text. "There is insufficient memory to run
    Setup. Try closing any open applications or restarting Windows."  This 
    seems unlikely on an AlphaServer 2100 with 512 MB RAM running WNT 4.0.  
    Also, there is over 1.5 GB of free disk space.  There are no other apps 
    running.
    	MS-Access support suggested booting WNT in VGA mode.  I'm not sure
    how to do this since there is no BOOT.INI file.  My customer site has
    an Access 95 database they want to run on the 2100.  The database is
    not yet ready for Access 97 which I believe would install okay on WNT
    4.0.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well I'm on an Intel machine but it should not matter...when you start
    the system, NT will ask if you want VGA mode, indicate yes. You will
    only have a few seconds to do this. Also be careful about MS-Access 95
    on NT 4.0. See note 1651.

	Access95 and Access97 are 32-bit Intel products. I'm assuming
	you ARE using FX!32 to install these with, correct? If so,
	please try the FX!32 notesfile. They won't install otherwise.

    RE:	.1	I know how to set VGA mode in BOOT.INI on an Intel
    		platform.  This is an AXP 2100.
    
    RE:	.2	No, FX!32 is not installed.  Will install soonest.  Thanks
