I think I found a way to fix my "hang" problem during setup, but I
need to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable to do it.

Situation: I am in "forced" Setup mode and am at the point where my
server "hangs" at the 12-min left mark in "Registering Components".
The problem, I think, is with the system not being able to find and
use Visual C++2005 Redistributable. The problem is that because it's
hung up, it won't recognize any drive letter expect C (I've tried cd\
and XCOPY - no luck), so my thought is to use msiexec.exe to auto-
place the file (vsredist_x86.exe) into c:\Windows]WinSxS\ and then
execute it.

Conundrum: I've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372024(VS.85).aspx and
don't really feel comfortable in putting them together to do what I
want.

Any code-wiz's out there who can tell me the syntax? And how to bundle
it onto a CD-R with a low-budget burner like Sonic RecordNow?

Many Thanks In Advance!!

Are you saying, that you're re-installing? And it hangs at some point =
and the install never completes??

Or are you just trying to make it go faster??

It hangs, as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839492

"The Windows Small Business Server 2003 installation process takes
longer than you expect after the Registering Components section
reports that 13 minutes remain"

[I should have kept al this in one thread to lesen confusion. I split
them up as I felt it had the potential to get a lot of posts and so,
be hard to follow for late-comers.]

I've been able to login - finally - but this is still a question that
I hope I can get answered as it may be useful somewhere down the
road. If not for me, for another SBS'er.
