    Been this way for several hours- it's not going to go anywhere. I'm waiting for a call back from MS but wondered if anyone has seen this before. I dont want to kill the setup obviously if there is any way to get it to resume or even "cancel" gracefully since I know the cleanup is not an easy task.

    anyone seen this or anythign like it during an install?

  • This turned out to be an issue with setup running on systems with > 32 processors. Described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2251397

    Resolutino was to kill setup, remove nodes, and run setup again this time specifying one processor affinity by launching setup from the command line with:

    Start /affinity ffff setup.exe

  • How many CPU Does your node have?

  • 40
