I'm experiencing a variant - installing SQL 2005 (RTM) on a brand new machine with Server 2003 Standard Ed. SP1, the setup program frequently pauses on steps identified as "Detecting Installed IIS". Setup eventually moves on, but it's taking ages to finish the install.
I've installed this exact version of several identical machines, but this is the first where I've encountered this behavior.
Does anyone have any input on what's really happening here and what to do about it?I guess no one really knows... :)
In my case, I believe that the cause was a DNS issue that caused all name resolution requests to time out. Others have reported issues related to firewalls or antivirus software.|||
Thanks for posting your solution, Carl. What was the DNS issue you were hitting? Did you have to change some settings to get it working? And approximately how long was the slow install? Hours? This issue has appeared a few times on here and I don't think we have a good answer yet other than DNS/firewall/anti-virus issues.
Thanks,

Now this is stressing the way-back machine!
The slow install was, as I recall, something on the order of 2-5 minutes each time something tried to detect IIS (and it happens several times during the install).
If I recall, the solution was to configure TCP/IP on the install machine to use the local domain controller for DNS rather than my upstream providers' DNS server.
