I am trying to install build 5308 (64-bit) on an HP m7100y (3.0 Pentium D
830) and the system hangs at the very start of Phase 2.

I have two 20-GB partitions. The first part has Windows XP MCE 2005
installed on it so I can not launch the Vista Install from this OS (64-bit
Setup.Exe won't run). When I try to install from a DVD boot I get to the
very beginning of Phase 2 and the system just hangs. I have read other posts
about installs that may take a long time, but I left the system running for
2 hours and nothing changed. I started the install at 6:34:02 and the last
entry in the SETUPACT.LOG is at 6:36:33. I rebooted the system at 8:38:00

I have reviewed the SETUPACT.LOG and found all only three warnings that are
included below (the rest were labeled "Info")

2006-03-03 18:34:02, Warning [0x090010] PANTHR No working dir has been
given to panther. The temp dir for modules will be unavailable. Call
WdsInitialize(ReInit=TRUE) to specify a working directory

2006-03-03 18:34:02, Warning [0x090022] PANTHR Couldn't create clean
panther temp dir

2006-03-03 18:36:29, Warning [0x0a002d] UI Progress data: No time
estimate reported on blackboard. Key=ProgressInfo\TransferPeImage

Please let me know if the entire log file or other data would help to
resolve this issue.

Thanks for the help, Andre. Let me know if you need any more information. I
am going to try the 32-bit version of Vista and see if that makes any
difference.

MJ, so many persons are encountering this issue on their systems, so its
obviously Vistas fault, no specific answer has been provided why its
happening. I am going to submit this for you through bug reporting system
and hopefully get some direct feedback.
