SYMPTOMS
During the installation process, Setup.exe may hang after you click either Typical or Custom Setup. Task Manager will show that the Setup program is using 100% of the CPU cycles.



WORKAROUND
Make sure that all of the following services are stopped before running Setup.exe from the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit CD-ROM:


 * dbWeb
 * WWW
 * FTP
 * DHCP -or-

Use a manual installation by following these steps:

NOTE: These steps will not install the following programs: Desktop Themes, Perl, Web Administration, WCAT, Internet Explorer, RAS Manager, or Crystal Reports. Each of these programs can be installed separately from the Resource Kit CD-ROM without using the Resource Kit main setup program. For more information, please see the Readme.txt file in the root directory of the Resource Kit CD-ROM.

 In the Control Panel, double-click the System icon. In the System Properties window, select the Environment tab. Add the following entry to the System variables:

Variable: %NTRESKIT%

Path: C:\NTRESKIT

 Click OK to close the System Properties window and save your changes. Copy the following batch file to a file named Rkcopy.bat, and then run the batch file from the Command Prompt.</ol>
