Apparently, if you do *not* have the C++ part of VS2005 installed the install time is significantly lowered. I have not installed it yet, but will tomorrow (and I have plenty of room along with C++ not installed). So, if you don't need C++, uninstall it first.

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 ... Sébastien www.sebastienlorion.com
