hmmm, interesting. I tried the disk cleanup but it took so long to =-
load-
the initial part where you select which files to clean, after two =-
hours-
I cancelled it.

Hi,

Open My Computer - Right click on the C:\ drive and select =--
Properties.--
Click on Disk Cleanup. Put a check next to "Temporary Internet =--
Files"--
and "Temporary files" then click OK. Reboot and retry the install.

ianowa-

The initial part where it says disc cleanup is calculating how muhc
pace you will be able to free. It stops 3 bars in. Below it says
"Scanning: Compress old files"

It happens. Good news is it will fix itself in a year or so. There's no known cause and it stalls at random parts of the drive.

You can remove this feature (which is not a good idea to use it anyway unless you have a reason to compress).

Type Regedit in Start Run and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files
and delete the key. To restore type in Start Run
regsvr32 dataclen (but wait 6 months and then try every 6 months till it works)
