Just because you have 2GB of RAM installed in the machine, it doesn't
follow that the available physical memory will be 2048 MB.  Many
machines these day share RAM with video cards and other peripherals,
which reduces the physical memory available.  On 32-bit OSes without PAE
enabled (ie: Windows XP, 32-bit Windows Vista), memory address space
that is devoted to IO will also reduce the available memory (when you
have 4GB RAM installed).  What you're seeing is probably correct for
your test machines.  Example: my desktop machine has 8GB RAM installed,
with a 1GB Video Card, a RAID controller, and some other stuff.  On
64-bit Vista, my available memory is 8189 MB.  On 32-bit Vista, the
available memory was 2813 MB.

The solution is to set your physical memory threshold to be what your
application actually needs, and not an arbitrary round number.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Ram size checking

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.
I tested this on windows 2008,2003 and XP, on all of these machine
actual
ram size is 2048MB
But in wix it shows PhysicalMemory = 2005.
So it's causing problem for me.
I can't put  PhysicalMemory >= 2048 condition.

so what's the solution?

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Hukum
