Well it was getting so late I decided to try with a fresh start this morning.
1 Plenty of Drive Space no problem there 2 Permissions I am the Administrator Have all the permissions I need 3. Fragmentation - Really in need of it. Will let you know if that solves the issue. I don't see how this can affect the install but will give it a shot. Concerning the other idea from Darin, Installing on another machine is not an option at this time. Each machine that runs IMail is set up for a particular network and domain environment. At least I didn't loose anthing last night when I tried the upgrade just had to reload the webfiles. If anyone form Ipswitch wants to jump in here that would be a great help. I do have a service agreement.
