Running .NET SDK 6.0 on a Virtual Machine with a Host machine of 12GB Virtual Space Available.

Hello all,

I need to know if this is possible asap. I have successfully installed .NET Runtime, but I need .NET SDK to actually build the projects on Virtual Box.

The problem is I have the standard 8GB RAM, which has been adjusted to 12GB virtual RAM capacity.

Hi @PocketPixie ,

Your problem is more related to the virtual machines and has little to do with the Windows app SDK, I have changed the tag to the virtual machines.

Hello Junjie,

The limitation of the 8GB RAM size. The Virtual Space is hosted temporarily on the RAM according to this:

https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/understanding-ram-versus-hard-drive-space-via-an-analogy/#:~:text=When%20the%20system%20is%20low%20on%20RAM%20%28work,to%20keep%20the%20work%20space%20tidy%20and%20organized.

The standard ISO file size for Windows 10 G1 is 4GB, with no updates.
The size of the RunTime is 25.9 MB for .NET 7.0
Framework 4.8.1 size is 197 MB

The total space would be under 12GB for the Virtual Memory, but my question even with the sizes mentioned above, I cannot run both FrameWork and RunTime on VM due to the "HostMemory" issue. This is using VirtualBox. There are no other applications or background tasks running during the VM, besides standard functions.

My question is, what is it to resolve the "HostMemory" issue?
