I am experiencing extremely slow behavior (no activity for > 30 mins) during a SS 2005 Dev Edition install on XP SP2 on various steps during the SQL Server Database Services step - e.g. during "Setting File Security". This is very annoying.
I've found many postings on this issue indicating that OS calls in this part of the install (e.g. LookupAccountName()) are network speed dependent.
Does Microsoft have any plans to rework this part of the install to rid the need of these calls I really wish the install would be possible without these calls - it's driving me crazy monitoring this for hours. We've got to roll SS2005 out to a couple hundred developers eventually and this isn't going to cut it.
Thanks for your time on this matter.
Best Regards,
Mike
SQL Server 2005 Install Hangs - Does MS Plan to fix?

It works for me.
I created a batch file with
ipconfig /release LOCAL*
ipconfig /renew LOCAL*
It solves the problem before the hot fix gets into my email.
Many thanks,

This problem is in the original media therefore the only way to fix this is to get a specific QFE which needs to be applied to the original media.
Please refer to the following for work arounds.

I have to install SQL Server remotely using Terminal Services and did not have the option to disable the network because I'd not be able to then enable it. I tried the hotfix. It's a lot more work. I ended up writing a simple batch file to call ipconfig twice. It works for me. However, you better be sure that support is available at the remote site to enable the network adapter if something goes wrong.
My batch file contains:
ipconfig /release LOCAL*
ipconfig /renew LOCAL*
I watch the "Setup Progess" window and click on the link of an item that appears to have hung. This displays the SQLSetup log. For example, the last line for "Reporting Services" log is
PerfTime Start: Write_sqlFileSDDL : Fri Feb 16 09:40:58 2007
It's been 10 minutes. Running the batch will knock out the connection for a few seconds. My Terminal Service session is able to recover and the setup continues.
