If Windows Explorer try to re-connect to an unavailable share or other ressource on the network it sometimes goes completely banana and try to re-stablish the connection upon many file operations and window re-paints. This is also true for the some of the FileSystem objects used by the latest generation development tools such as Visual Studio and the .NET platform.
In this situation both installation processes in general and simple file operations can take forever because of long timeout-values related to failed credential-lookup :-) Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Jacob Schäffer | Chief Developer Grafikhuset (House of Graphics) Paradis Allé 22, Ramløse DK-3200 Helsinge, Denmark Phone: +45 4439 4400 Email: [email protected] Web: www.grafikhuset.net -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne af Jim Owens Sendt: 22. april 2009 17:12 Til: John Hedtke Cc: [email protected] Emne: Re: Installing Acrobat 9.0 taking FOREVER??!? Sometimes it takes my system several minutes just to delete a 2KB file using Windows Explorer. I assume that the registry is being updated in hundreds of places.
