ClickOnce Problem with .NET Framework Installation

I have a C# application that I am distributing and updating via ClickOnce. I
have the .NET Framework 2.0 as a prerequisite. On some computers, but not
all, when the app is installed for the first time, and the Framework needs
to be installed, the Framework installation piece will hang the user's
computer. A reboot is normally required. What's odd about this is that the
Framework has been installed successfully but the computer hangs up.

Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks very much.

My company is doing this same thing, but we haven't seen this. The .Net 2.0
installation rarely requires a reboot. I haven't figured out the pattern
yet for when it does and when it doesn't.

Sometimes the installation takes a long time, and sometimes it doesn't.

Are you deploying the .Net 2.0 framework from the same location as your
application, or are you deploying it from Microsoft's website? If you
deploy it from your webserver, it might be faster. It's worth a try. Also,
how long do you wait before you decide it's stuck?
