How can I bypass available memory check?

Question

How can I bypass memory(RAM) check on windows 7 ? I have an application who refuses to run because I have less than the required 2GB of ram how can I trick it to run anyway ?

EDIT: to clarify the application runs fine on another computer and uses around 700 Mb. What's blocking me is the setup process who refuses to install because it detects I have 1GB

I succeeded in installing the software by disabling WMI http://computerstepbystep.com/windows_management_instrumentation_service.html

WMI was used to check my RAM config.

So in the end it was possible :D

To disable Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) just disable the service with the same name by running msconfig and uncheck it in the services tab

Buy more RAM.

Seriously, it probably checks because it needs 2 GB of RAM. I do not know of any method spoofing RAM in Windows (nor Linux). One thing you could try is resize the amount of Virtual Memory.
