So simple!
Your fix also works when installing SBS2003 on Hyper V. I left the dvd running last night on my Hyper V and came back this morning to find it was still stuck at 37 minutes. Rebooted, made sure the screen had focus and voila! You saved me so much time.

Oh man! Thanks so much!!! You’re lucky you only wasted the 20 mins waiting- I was running programs in the background and dragged it out for an entire morning!!!

Thanks a million, this saved lot of my time, otherwise I always let windows sit there for a while when installing an OS, specially when its on VM … lol

Thanks again, great job by posting it on the blog.

Thanks so much! I’ve lost a lot of hours today waiting for this dumb thing to install. (Or am I the dumb thing? Wait, don’t answer that.) Again, thanks!
