I'd like to add my 3 cents if I may: I have tried many times, and
installer _always_ gets stuck in the middle of installing process
(after all downloads are complete). Some of the files gets installed,
but (afaik) not all of them. If I kill the installer and try over, it
halts again. Leaving it "working" for ~30 mins didn't help either - it
just keeps being stuck. I suppose I'm just out of luck ;).

Regards,

PS. That's on Sempron with 1GB of RAM, XP SP2
