Answer 1

It is an known issue in Visual Studio 2008.   If you have MSDN 2008 installed on your machine, the help installation will be very slow.   Sorry for inconvenience.

 

Answer 2

If you waited did the Power Packs finally install successfully?

Answer 3

I'm having the same problem - it is hanging on install at the same place as described above?  Is there a fix for this?  Will the install eventually finish?

Answer 4

It will pause if you're installing on 2008 to merge the help contents but it should be a fairly short pause.  If you've waited longer then 10 minutes there is a problem.  We have not been able to reproduce the problem here so if you are having problems can you please provide more details.  Which OS are using?  Which version of VS do you have?  If the setup does fail does the Power Packs tab show up in the toolbox?

 

 

 

Answer 5

After waiting about 10 minutes, the install completed without any errors.  Just need to be patient.

Thanks!
