I am trying to install the workstation method of Access 2.0 on to a new
Windows XP machine from a shared network folder. The install starts out ok
but hangs after I click on continue. The same network install works without
problem on a Win NT 4.0 and Win 2K PC's. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can you copy the contents of the shared network folder to your local
hard drive and try it there? If the share is in the UNC format
\\ServerName\ShareName it may be that A2.0 can't deal with that
properly.
