Stuck on Windows is Copying Files

[David Hampson]

I am trying to install build 5472 from MSDN. I know this isn't the right
newsgroup, but I was hoping someone else might have seen this before.

I am running VMWare 5.5. I start the VM with the iso attached as the CD
drive. I've done 3 previous Vista installs this way with no issues, but on
this one, after I press a key to boot from DVD, it says Windows is Copying
Files, and the progress bar travels to the end and nothing happens after
that. VMWare shows activity on the CD drive and periodically on the hard
drive, but nothing else happens. I let it sit overnight.

I've downloaded the ISO twice from MSDN and once from another source. Same
thing on all 3.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks,

Dave H.

This is a known issue where 5472 does not work under VMWare Workstation 5.5.
The VMWare forums report that this build is working under VMWare Server 1.0.
