I'm having an issue with distribution kits built with CVI 2009 taking a long time to install on some PCs. In the installer, the progress bars will both be completely full, with the top one displaying "Overall Progress" "Currently Installing [application name]. Part 1 of 1." The bottom bar displays nothing. During this time, there is usually a few instances of msiexec.exe sucking up considerable CPU time according to Task Manager, and the disk does not appear busy. If I wait several minutes (sometimes 10 minutes or more), it will eventually move on, with the next step displaying "Validating Install..." on the bottom progress bar. This only happens on some PCs, other ones install in a reasonable amount of time (less than a minute). Once the installation is complete, everything appears to have worked and the installed software runs fine. The only pattern I've noticed that the PCs that show this problem tend to be older models. One is a P4 3.2Ghz desktop with 1.5GB of ram, and the other is a Core Duo (not sure about speed at the moment) Dell laptop with 2GB of ram. Both are running Windows XP SP3.
Any insight into this would be appreciated, as some of the PCs that show this are ones used for testing software packages and often having things installed onto them. Thanks.
