Installation Stalls at "Detecting Installed IIS"

I try to install but once it gets to Installation Status window it freezes at Detecting Installed IIS. What do I do to get past this wonderful step? And who tested this installation process? Better yet, who let it be releases with so many bugs?

do you have Norton/Symantec antivirus software running on your machine? If so, temporarily disable it and rerun setup.

Thank youl. I finally had success.

Seems like turning it off (Symantec Antivirus) was not a guarantee for success -- I did turn it off before with no success; uninstalling all might have helped too where I then installed it fresh.

Installation SP1 freezes

When I try to install SP1 on W2K3 Standard Server, the installation
freezes on "Inspecting".
I downloaded the file WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe from
the Microsoft download area.
I have tried the installation twice with the same results. The only
way out was to use the hardware Reset key.
Any ideas?
TIA
