V6.1.0.0 Install on Windows XP Hangs at 66% percent on GSKitInstall

[Grant Rettke]

Hi folks,

I am trying to install IBM HTTP Server V6.1.0.0 on Windows XP SP2 with
full administrator privileges. The installation proceeds normally
until reaching 66% (percent) during which the message is on the
dialog:

"Running configuration command: GSKitInstall".

The log identifies this as:

<record>

</record>

It hangs at exactly the same location on each try (twice so far). From
what I have read, on Linux this can be attributed to stale NFS mounts.
That said, I will let the installer run overnight and see what happens

Best wishes,
