Hi!,

I've been trying to install Visual C# Express, but haven't had any success so far.

The problem is that the installation program stucks at the "Setup is loading installation components. This may take a minute or two." step. The progress bar stops at about 80% and even if I wait, it won't go any further. At this point the CPU Usage is 100% for the installer.

I have reinstalled Windows (not because of this problem though), but having a fresh installation of Windows didn't help (although, before the reinstallation, the progress bar did go only to about 50%). Currently I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2.

I have managed to install Visual C# Express before on this computer. Though, I have changed some components since then.

Thanks,

- Mikko Nylén

Thanks in advance!

if you leave the installer 30' with the splash screen, after that time it's go back to work. Incredible but true
