Ok so I already chatted off this list about this with a few people
(thanks RobMen and BArnson!) but still no real resolution so thought I'd
open it up in case it jogs someone's memory or I'm just doing something
stupid :)
On a Windows Server 2008 machine with Windows Installer 4.5.6001.22162
and WixUI_Advanced in PerMachine mode I get a modal dialog that does not
allow me to progress.
-------
WIRepro Setup
Please wait while the installer finished determining your disk space
requirements.
<Return>
-------
This dialog does not appear on Windows Vista with the same version of
Windows Installer. Before I start doing nasty things to wire in my own
custom UI to navigate around this dialog has anyone got a sensible
workaround (that doesn't involve the /qr switch at the command line!)
or can point out what I'm doing that is silly?
Repro below:
Compile environment: Windows Vista x64, Visual Studio 2008, Wix
3.0.5217.0
Test environment: Windows 2008 Server Enterprise, Windows Installer
4.5.6001.22162, logged on as Administrator (hopefully removing UAC from
the equation here).
Repro:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</Wix>
I then tried with Mondo and turning off the PerUser support:
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Mondo" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUISupportPerUser"
Value="0" />
This is successful some of the time (every other time I launch the MSI
after a hang?) but does not function consistently. Both installers work
perfectly on Vista (same Windows Installer build number).
Thanks for any guidance.
Stuart.
