deployment utility slow

[chasgl1]

I have a fairly simple application.  One medium size TestStand sequence and a couple of dozen LabVIEW vis.  I started the deployment utility about two hours ago and it still has not come back.  It responds to mouse clicks on the tabs.   Is it hung?  really slow? or is this normal behavior?
Thanks,

It might just be slow, but you should verify that there aren't any prompt dialogs hidden beneath your other windows.  A couple of times my deployment builds seemed to hang, but it was because LabVIEW was prompting to save VI's on behalf of the deployment utility, but the LV prompt dialog box was hidden beneath the deployment utility window.

It has been going a day now about an hour ago I hit the abort button with no results other than the button visably responds.  I will kill the process  but any idea how to get this thing working?

What step is it stuck on?

It is stuck on "Updating File Links".  I tried a different sequence that uses LabVIEW VIs and it finished in about a minuite.

Do you have any sequence calls?   I have seen this problem where you are calling the same sequence file, but you explicitly name it, rather than check the "Use Current Sequence File" box.

Yes I have sequence calls.  Most are use current file but one is a remote sequence call.  It is actually to a routine in the sequence but duplicated on the remote computer and run there.  I specify it as remote exe
