    Installing IIS - This may take a few minutes..

    Anyone know why when I added IIS features to my Vista Business 64 installation it took almost 8 hours to finish? - Wouldn't have minded so much but after it had finished I installed the Azure SDK that took another 8 hours while it updated my new IIS configuration....

    Was it downloading external content? It's not unknown for Windows machines to go very, very slowly when installing optional components. Usually if it's that slow I would have cancelled and retried.

    I wonder what it would download to take 8 hours? I presume your system's working at a normal speed when doing other tasks?

    Are you running Service Pack 2 on your Vista installation? It does fix a lot of problems and is more comparable with Windows 7.
