>>My machine, AMD2000, 512Mb ram, 64Mb GeForce4, 34Gb free HD, virtually
dies
>>half way through the install of VS.net.
>>
>>I have tried a few times to install but get the same problem every time. I
>>have disabled all programs that are not needed and it still does this.
>>
>>I have had task manager running while installing and noticed that msiexec
>>takes about 58Mb of ram happily all the way through the install until the
>>point where my machine goes extremely slow. Also, on the physical memory
>>side, there is always about 95 to 130Mb free until the same point when it
>>goes down to about 700k free!! And the processor goes to 100% while
through
>>the working part of the install the processor is about 25-40%.
>>
>>This is quite worrying as my PC is fine apart from this.
>>
>>It does this strange behavior during CD1 install of common components to
>the
>>system. During this happening, task manager does not report it as a 'Not
>>Repsonding' program but the system takes about a minute or so to move the
>>task manager window for instance.
>>
>>In my error logs in event manager, there is nothing. In the setup error
>logs
>>there is nothing.
>>
>>I have tried with and without IIS installed. I do not run zone alarm or
>>other firewall as i have a hardware one outside the PC.
>>
>>I have tried the install about 8 times, even left it overnight and it was
>>still trying to copy the same file!!
>>
>>During the hanging(??) part of the install, it uses the virtual memory
lots
>>but only reports a small usage (the drive that is on is flashing lots)
>>
>>Now, when i try to run install, it detects a bad install from previous
>>tries. I remove that then it will try again. If I remove that then wait
for
>>5 minutes, it detects the bad install again and 'pretents' to remove it.
It
>>does this even after removal then reboot.
>>
>>I am a techy (networking and software stuff) and cannot see anything that
>>maybe causing this, hence why i would like to ask better cleverer people
>>like yourselves!
