SP4 for SQL Server 2000 ENT edition (named Instance) hung!!!!

    I have a test box (Server 2000) with a Default SQL Server Enterprise Instance (Enterprise Edition). Yesterday I installed a new Named Instance and rebooted. I then began applying SP4. It ran through part of the install and it hung on "Setup is preparing to copy Files"

    and there it sat all night. It is still hung here. Both Instances seem to be performing normally.

    Any suggestions on what I should do??? Can I or should I cancel the sp4 install?

    This sounds so familiar ... it's been a couple years, but I remember it being something about msdtc or mdac running ... Can't seem to find anything on Google about it.

    Just for S&G's, check your task manager while it's on that screen, goto processes, all users, and try to kill either of those to see if it works.
