setup/deployment is SLOW

[doofy]

I've got a VB.net app that I'm loading up to a SSVR 2005 server. It was
created in Visual Studio 2008, calling upon 3.5 framework.

I created a setup file with the deployment wizard, and am trying to
install it on the server.

This thing is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW. It's been a couple of hours now,
and the 456kb MSI file is only half loaded. Man, what's up?

Does your server already have the 3.5 framework installed? If not, it could
be hung trying to configure parts that are not there.

Looks like it needed to install the 3.5 framework, which took most of
the day.
