Computing space requirements

I am trying to reinstall BOINC and the installer hangs every time at "Computing space requirements" and just sits. Last time for an hour before I canceled. Any Hints what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Computing space requirements

Hi,

yes, we've seen that once or twice... somewhere in the Start Here FAQ index there's a topic on that... hang on...

Is this Vista? I had a similar issue. Uninstalling BOINC rebooting then fresh install seemed to work. The MSI installer was majorly hung up on my system.
