“Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements” message drives me nuts!

At the moment I’m setting up a new BizTalk Server 2009 VPC with the BizTalk Deployment Framework 5, BizUnit 3.1 and the ESB Toolkit 2.0.

With the BDF and the for the ESB toolkit necessary Enterprise Library 4.1, I received the message as stated in the subject:

“Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements”

I’m sure I’m not the only one suffering from this……you can wait till the next day but the installer does not finish determining! I ran to Bing and tried to find the solution, several were proposed:

All suggested options didn’t work for me, but fortunately I found a solution here.

The solution is to force the installer to install the package silently using:

msiexec.exe -package <MyPackage.msi> –qr

Since the installer message doesn’t show up all the time and in all circumstances I’m not sure what causing it.

I had the exact same problem. However i did a 'chkdsk /F c:'. It found and corrected a hand full of filesystem errors. After the next reboot the installation didn't stop in 'finishes determining your disk space requirements'
