Other machines have had beta software both public and private and I've had to install twice for a complete install (with cleanup scripts). The issue isn't that I abort the install- the install completes with errors. I expected problems with other boxes but not with a clean install of the OS. I have plenty else to scold Microsoft over...

I wrote a similar post related to this at my blog today. Just think things need to be tweaked a bit. A little mosre customization in the installer options would be a nice start.

It does take a while to load ... however the problems you mentioned may be due to other installs ... particuarly if you had a CS3 BETA and try to install over with a final product. I definiately recall having to run CS3Clean, which is why it exists! Yes, there is CS3Clean package to run if you were part of BETA (not sure on the trial versions, probably not). Search for it. Other than that all I can say is that there a couple places during the full package install where things seemingly aren't going anywhere, yet if you leave it be, it'll still be installing. There's quite a bit to install, given it's 3.x GB's of product! My advise is: don't abort a full install unless you know for a fact the installer is frozen or otherwise unresponsive. Other than that ... I'd scold Microsoft rather than Adobe. I too just installed both Mac and PC upgrades to CS3.
