wisescript makes system low on virtual memory
Hi;
I have written a wise script, which will read lines from a text file and copy the executables mentioned in text file from server to %TEMP%. Now again it will read lines text file one by one and execute all files copied in %TEMP%. During this process when one executable is executed I get message as "System is low on virtual memory". I know this error belongs to pagefile.sys and virtual memory. Also when I execute all exes separately I dont get any error its only when I use script I get error.
Point to be noted is if I use script I get error only when a particular exe is executed. upto that exe all exes execute fine.
I have encountered this kind of problem once when I wanted to update services file by reading lines from text file and copying them to services file with wise script. If text file is too long I used to get this error.
Any explaination or suggestion on why this happens.
Sounds like a memory leak
From your description, it would appear that something in your chain of processes is causing a memory leak - in other words, is taking up a bunch of heap space when it runs, and not releasing the heap space when the process ends. It may not be anything to do with pagefile.sys, as the virtual memory error also covers the four heaps used by windows.
Are you able to move the problem EXE as the last install in your sequence, and ensure that the Execute Program command in Wisescript is set to "NOT" wait for completion before exiting.

True but this is packaging
True but this is the packaging forum, so my guess is they're using WPS.
Forum crossover
Evan,
The Wise forums are used interchangeably by users, so you cannot assume they are using WPS just because they are posting here. If the forum was called "Wise Package Studio" forum then there would be some merit in your assumption, but calling it "Wise Application Packaging" forum just indicates that any wise packaging question could be asked here.
In addition, since Wisescript appears in both WPS and WIS, and there is also a substantial user base with the original Wisescript-only product, which forum would you expect them to post into ??
So guessing they are using WPS is about as accurate as guessing it will be sunny at noon on May 1st 2102 ;-)

My Eternal Bad
My heartfelt apologies, as I seem to have struck a nerve.
With two forums, one named "Wise Installation Development" and the other "Wise Application Packaging", I now see how absurd it is to expect Package Studio questions to appear here. I am humbled by the inaccuracies in my pointing out a bug fix and solemnly vow never to repeat this dire shortcoming.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go post Rdeploy questions in the Ghost Solution Suite forum.
LOL

Sarcasm notwithstanding, you won't be the first......:-D
