SP1 installation hangup: "Updating profiles. Please wait..."

CGS11SP1_SP2.EXE

Anyone seeing this?

I'm installing CorelDRAW 11 on a machine running Windows XP (32-BIT) with Service Pack 3. I've done this before. My memory is that the installation of CorelDRAW SP1 ends, and the installation of SP2 begins automatically. It has been some time, but that's what I remember happening.


My SP1 installation hangs up at the end, with the message "Updating profiles. Please wait..." I can wait all day; the program is unresponsive.


I can use Task Manager to end the program. Doing so breaks whatever loop it is in and allows me to finish, which then begins the installation of SP2.

Again, it didn't used to work like this. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
