Roger that. Given that it was hung on this step: "Install_sql_engine_core_shared_Cpu32_Action : Write_NativeImage_32. Generating Native Images" and that the 'Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86' service was in the pausing state (never did pause, just said pausing), I'm thinking that the install calls for whatever ngen.exe happens to be present to generate the processor-specific JIT compilation process, and it hangs the box. Hard.
Wouldn't shut down. Had to power off the VM and start it up again, then uninstall .NET 4 (a two reboot process), then the SQL install went just fine. Kurt On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 14:03, Michael B.
