SUMMARY Installing Python from its EXE installer hangs with no activity when run with winpackage Executing the equivalent command using winshell has the desired effect, successfully installs the software as expected. In this case, the Windows Installer is behaving as designed by dynamically adjusting the VB component version as requested by applications. To resolve this issue, refer to the third situation and/or update your applications. Situation 3: The Windows Installer maintains a list of required files and registry entries for a given application.
I've download and run the installer for v5.2.2 of VirtualBox for Windows. I get all the way through the setup pages of the wizard, accepting the warning about the network interface being restarted and click the Install button. The progress bar screen appears and then nothing else happens. The install UI appears interactive but the cancel button doesn't actually work. I have to kill the msiexec.exe process to get the installer to close.
I've run it as both myself and Administrator. I've attached the log file.
