Hello, everyone:
I am trying to install a new SQL server 2008 instance on a PC and after running installation rules I get the "Pease Wait" message and does not change to "Ready to Install" window. I know sometimes it takes more time to change, but it's been over an hour and can't install.
The system is not frozen an I am using Win XP SP3 with a P4 at 2.4 Ghz and 1,5 Gb RAM

I would first check if you have enough available freespace on installation drive (usually c:). Also check to see if you have an open dialog box behind installation screen asking a question such as "if you want to run this program?".

I checked, i have 16 Gb free and there's no dialog, window is still frozen. I'm only installing Engine and management tools, so I don't need much space.
Also opened task manager and checked Setup.exe it is not using CPU and only 6 Mb in RAM

Probably an isolated problem. I closed the process by force and tried again, got another error, but I know how to solve it. thank you.
