Hours to Install?

I just got a notice of new software. I've started installing it but it says it will take 3-4 hours to complete. Does that sound right? I can't remember a piece of software taking that long to install.

No, it should install in a couple of minutes at most.

Re: Hours to Install?

Hello i_am_jim,
Ridiculous. Reboot. Uninstall. Reinstall from WCG. It should take only a minute or two unless something has gone wrong with your software environment. Whenever things go wonky - reboot.
