Comment #5 refers to the 131k downloader - I agree we should leave it. The original bug is for a 464MB file, NI_Circuit_Design_Suite_11_0_1_Education.exe. I set for win2k and ran steps 1-5 of comment #3. As before, setup & msiexec monopolised cpu. I've never seen 200% from top on this twin cored box before - I presume that's endless looping from cache. mscorsvw usage gradually climbs, and setup fades away, while wineserver doesn't appear on top output. It's still trying to install .net-2.0
The installer is running an expensive query, you should give it more time.
