Install hangs on Windows 2003 R2

Hello,

I have a setup project that installs fine on Windows XP Pro.

When I do an install on Windows Server 2003 R2:
- Above the progress Bar is says "Setup"
- progress bar has about 3 green blocks in it
- CPU time is high, > 50%
- High CPU being used by msiexec.exe
- After waiting several minutes, I have to kill it with Task Manager

How can I determine what is causing this error?

Thanks

Hi,

You may use the following command to generate a verbose log of the setup you have created.

Setup.exe/v"/l*v \"C:\filenamel.txt\""

You may verify the log file generated from an XP operating system with that of the log file generated in a Windows server 2003 R2 operating system.

Thanks,
Lenwin

The install actually does complete, but it can take 15-30 minutes.
