We have a windows 2008 server with sql server 2005 installed. When we tried to install something, we got an error: "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file. I see the physical memory is 97% used, is it pretty low? How can I free up memory for it? THanks

>>Install something?? What is that something? It could be due a corrupted install files 97% used? Use Task Manager to identify what process is using this memory. You can kill the unused services. Also, use performance monitor to identify the system resources on this server.
