A vendor is telling me that his application needs to have
the imagecfg utility run against it. The utility is
supposed to be on w2k resource kit supplemental disk 1.
It will allow his executable to run a process that uses
over 2 gig of memory. I cannot find this utility on any
resource kit, and barely any mention of it on the web.

Can anyone help me find this? Please.

Tell the vendor to run it his own damn self?

The only thing that application does is set a bit in the header indicating
it can use the 3 gig address space.

If you cannot find imagecfg, (ad have a copy of visual studio laying around)
you can use editbin from VS 6 "editbin /largeaddressaware app.exe" would be
the syntax you're looking for.

You also need to configure your server to support 3 gig tuning in the
boot.ini file.

You also will need to have more than 2 gig of physical RAM for it to be
useful.
