One important item to remind everyone on. Until the International patch was released for v2, even with dynamic memory, it was not possible to get beyond 2GB for the workspace. That limitation was removed with the International patch as well.

Got it fixed. Regenerated the msi using powershell and New-Medvworkspace.

Hi JC.

I am struggling to change the amout of memory allocated to my XP SP3 VM on Med-V 2. I have 4 GB on the host (32bit install) and would like 2 GB to go to the workspace and 1GB for the Windows 7 host. The VM however only gets 1GB if I look in the reg file as well as the powersehell script during the workspace packager setup. I added the "Memory" DWORD in the reg file with a vaule of 0x00000800 (2048) but it just ignored the setting. If I change the amount of memory on the VM once the workspace is setup, it resets back to 1GB as soon as I restart the machine.

I cannot find any articles on changing the memory for initial setup or changing the memory after the setup has completed already.

Any ideas?
