VS2003 SP1 goes stupid on install

[Earl]

Just downloaded SP1 and tried to install it. Gets to the installer screen
and just sits there with the hourglass. Seems like it is hanging, so what do
I not know about this process?

See KB article 924009, "Known issues and workarounds",
That's just the way it is.

Heh ... thanks Howard. Actually, I waited ... and waited .. had some coffee
.... waited some more ... but after what seemed like an eternity, the process
started rolling. I like the new Visual Studio, but it seems like more and
more, you have to have a supercomputer to get any sort of speed!
