Chris gave it several minutes, I let it sit overnight. So there is a problem.

As I recall, I waited several minutes for an installer to "think" before I got bored and cancelled it. I just put it down to Windows being "awkward" as when I restarted the installer, the thinking time was either non-existent or just a couple of seconds and everything then went fine. Unfortunately at the time, I didn't think to note it as a problem as it eventually installed correctly. I am not even sure what it was I was installing!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] (no subject) That means Windows Installer is "thinking". We get it with patches when you click on the Next button on WelcomeDlg as at that point the Windows Installer is inventorying the product's currently installed components & keypaths etc. Not sure what would cause it with an MSI, possibly a large number of things like RegistrySearch, FileSearch or if you're using the major upgrade functionality and you currently have an older product installed which has a large number of files/components/etc. Nothing to be worried about, just Windows Installer doing it's job properly & you should just click the return button rather than cancelling & restarting as it'll likely be no faster.
