Hi I am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. I am trying to install VMware
Worksation 6.5. When I attempt the installation I get the following message:

'Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk
space for swapping file) or corrupted cabinet file.

I have been able to successfully install the same program using the same MSI
package on Windows XP SP2 & on another install of Vista. Do you have any
information as to what the problem is?
