NT Installation of Labview 6i hangs approximately 1/2 way through process

[jnasiatka@inhale.com]

I am trying to install Labview 6i on NT 4.0 sp5. The
installation process hangs partway through the install
during the 'initialization' process.

I've let the system sit for over an hour before stopping the install, and some files are copied,
but it's not complete.

I've installed this on a different machine without any problems, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Did you receive an error during the installation or after you stopped the installation? There were some problems with WinNT sp4 installation that it could not find n1.cab file on the CD. Installing sp6 solved the problem. I suggest you try with sp6, too. If that doesn't work, call or email our support team and we may send you another CD.

I didn't get any errors, although I did have to use the task manager to kill the process after trying to stop/exit the install.

I will have to get our IS dept to come over and upgrade to SP6. I'll let you know if it works.

Thanks

You may find that the install is requesting help with a file, but the
request box does not go to the top and so remains hidden, waiting for
the operator to reply. Check by minimising all windows. I found that
copying the installation disk to HDD, and installing from there solved
my problem.
