some of my customers have encountered a java.lang.outofmemory error due to heap size when installing my product.
After checking their configurations, the problem came from a very large .com.zerog.registry.xml file (this file is located in the _installation subdirectory). It seems this bug is fixed in IA 2011 SP4 (check for IOC-000080085).
About changing the heap size value at runtime, the only way I found to do this is :
- launch your setup
- go to temp directory used by the setup
- locate the setup.lax file and modify the lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max variable
- launch the executable located in the same directory as the lax file

regards

Hi Thank you for you help.its very helpful.is there any chance to provide through command prompt like

I'm afraid this is not possible, you need to preset these variables to values that would make sure the installer won't OOM.
