Several have reported that they have been unable to repro while logging. It would be interesting to see if setting the MsiLogging property to something that doesn't create a huge log (and consequently doesn't increase the total transaction time) would have some effect.

Hi all I have 6 MSIs chained together via Setupbld. On some machines, notably XP, I get a pop-up box with "Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements" and no matter how long we leave it, it never finishes the check. If I shut down the installer and try again, it installs fine. The issue I have is that it seems totally random as to which one of the 6 MSIs that it occurs on. They all vary in size and gui. By the looks of it Microsoft's own product have this error as well... http://theludditedeveloper.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/snag-0035.jpg Taken from this article - http://theludditedeveloper.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/please-wait-while-the-in staller-finishes-determining-your-disk-space-requirements/ That article and several others on the internet suggest using the /qn via the command line msiexec /i MyInstall.msi /qn But that is not an option for us, as the users need to be able to have full gui access. I also noticed that someone else had this same issue on the 16th of September and posted here, so it is definitely a problem, but it happens so randomly, that I, or anyone else, never have logging on to see what has gone wrong. The only difference I've noticed is that on Vista it seems to have MSI v4.5.6002 while on XP the maximum version number you can get is v4.5.6001. That's the only way I can explain it not working consistently on XP, but then I am grasping at straws. Has anyone else found a better solution to this error? Thanks, Dominique.
