Christer Tamm Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have had the same "REGISTERING COMPONENTS" problem, although my installation hung at 9 minutes left. After a week(!) of frustrations, I finally found the culprit: my $15 USB smartcard reader. When I disconnected it, everything worked like a charm.The rule seems to be: If anything *can* interfere with your WXP install, it *will*. So disconnect everything you don't need during the install. After the install is finished, add your stuff, one item at a time.Took me a week to learn that lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcJ Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I'm having the exact same issue at the 12 minute mark. I'm installing into the latest version VMWare. A slipstreamed XPSP1 cd installs fine but a slipstreamed XPSP2 cd hangs at the 12 minute mark every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaII Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) same problem @ T-12, haven't found any solutions yet on the forum so I'll post a reaction here in the hope someone has a solution The messages keep scrolling, and it indicates that it's reading from the CD, but no harddrive accessing.I'm testing it in VMware, haven't tested it in real life yet, but I don't plan too untill it works over there Edit: Nvm as stated somewhere else: When you use the cmdhow @ /HID and there's an error in the RunOnceEx and asks for input, then it's normal it doesn't continue untill you give the input to the window.
