    btw i have plenty of memory 2 gigs . system only using 400 megs
    Windows XP

    but during file scan you get filenamexyz.exe NSIS script.nsi - error - insufficient memory

    it doesnt happen on all files.

    this was done with an on demand scan.

    thanks

    Make sure Windows Environment variables actually are correct . They can be found in Control Panel -> System -> (System Protection)

    In Vista and Windows 7 - if you use User Account Control - enable it and re-create the folders X:\Windows\Temp and X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

    Reboot and try again

    In Windows XP the temp folders are:
    X:\Windows\Temp
    and X:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Local\Temp

    You may also check the Temp folders permissions

    Try deleting the folders manually and re-create them (using your own admin account).

    Path to temporary folder - can this setting be changed in NOD32?
    I'm using SSD as system (Win7 x64, NOD32 v4) volume and try to minimize writes to "c:\windows\temp\" folder. Changing TEMP/TMP environment variables seems to be a solution, but I want to change only NOD32 appearance.

    This is the only solution. I guess that the oper. system or other applications write more frequently to the temp folder.
