Well, the latest workaround is: 1) delete /var/log/setup.log* by the root a/c 2) cp "download packages"/setup.log* /var/log 3) start setup.exe in user mode and "next" as usual for downloading 4) start setup.exe in "kernel" mode and just "next" as setup.exe in user mode is running. 5) I could see "next" after MD5 checking and finish the installation in "kernel" mode.
Yes, I agree there's a file permission problem. =================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -la /var/log/ total 1021 drwxrwxrwx+ 4 Administ Users 0 Nov 11 08:22 . drwxrwx---+ 12 Administ Users 0 Aug 20 20:11 .. drwxrwx---+ 2 root Users 0 Jul 1 12:33 apache drwxrwx---+ 2 root Users 0 Sep 29 23:39 exim -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Sep 6 11:21 init.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 9 08:44 mountd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 9 08:44 nfsd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 9 08:44 portmap.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 15380 Nov 11 11:50 servicelog -rw-r--r-- 1 root None 282044 Nov 11 08:24 setup.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root None 230584 Nov 11 08:24 setup.log.full -rw-rw-rw- 1 root None 514976 Nov 11 11:52 wtmp =================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O ls -la /var/log total 2004 drwxr-xr-x+ 4 Administ Users 0 Nov 8 10:05 . drwxrwx---+ 12 Administ Users 0 Aug 12 21:38 .. drwxrwx---+ 2 root Users 0 Aug 8 22:46 apache drwxrwx---+ 2 root Users 0 Sep 30 00:07 exim -rwxr-xr-x 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Aug 20 19:41 init.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 8 10:05 mountd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 8 10:05 nfsd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM Administ 0 Nov 8 10:05 portmap.log -rwxrwxrwx 1 root None 17718 Nov 11 11:51 servicelog -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administ Users 1292068 Nov 11 00:11 setup.log -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administ Users 234210 Nov 11 00:11 setup.log.full -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 49 Nov 7 08:52 setup.log.postinstallXa00656 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 0 Nov 10 11:24 setup.log.postinstallXa02440 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 0 Nov 9 22:24 setup.log.postinstallXa02528 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 49 Nov 7 18:42 setup.log.postinstallXa02952 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 49 Nov 8 21:43 setup.log.postinstallXa03188 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 49 Nov 9 08:47 setup.log.postinstallXa03768 -rwxr-x---+ 1 root Users 49 Nov 8 09:04 setup.log.postinstallXa03804 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root None 501424 Nov 11 11:51 wtmp =================================================================== The "Dragon" is the Server 2003 with the problem and the "Zeus" is another Server 2003 without the problem.
