Thanks for the info. I just finished a nightmare install of SQL Server 2005 SP1 and subsequent hot fix. This seems like even more fun.

No. No retry button. FYI, I had more than 2 GB free on my C. I still do not know how much I need, but I will move thing around to have double that. Oh, and if the installation fails, it will leave the whole .msp sitting in c:\windows\installer and when you start over, it will copy it *another* time. Ah, and it loads every single bit of the patch in RAM. Yep, that's 450 MB. Really, I don't know what to say ...
