Low Memory Errors When Installing Windows Updates

Open Zian opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I tried to run "packer build -force -only virtualbox-iso .\vbox-win7.json" and I keep getting popups from WIndows saying that the VM is running out of memory.On a similar note, the boxstarter.log file shows that things are failing.

What can I do to fix the problem?

I have already tried increasing the allocated RAM and hard drive space to no avail.

The boxstarter.log file is attached. I renamed the file extension to make GitHub happy.

I dont typically build and maintain windows 7 boxes, but when I was testing this a few months back, I found that only using a MSDN ISO that included windows 7 SP1 was successful. I also found that I needed at least 4GB on the VM.
