Installer Hangs on Preparing to Install Step

In rare cases, the Iron Speed Designer installer can hang on the first step (preparing to install).  Sometimes your processor takes up 100% of the CPU for an extended period of time during the first step.

Solution

The InstallShield support knowledge base recommends that you disconnect your Internet connection and try installing again.

Step 1:  Download the full installer from Iron Speed’s website (www.ironspeed.com/download) onto your local disk. 

Step 2:  Disconnect your machine from the Internet.  You can go to your Control Panel, Network Connections and temporarily disconnect the LAN adapter.
