Some things to consider: Because you mentioned "work network", does your Win2K PC sit in a Windows domain? If so, are you sure you have full admin rights, meaning, perhaps your domain admin has installed a group policy that restricts rights on your PC? Are you logged on using your domain account or as a local administrator? Try installing as local admin to take the domain stuff out of the picture. If that doesn't work, and your PC is in a domain, try removing your PC's machine account from the domain, at least temporarily, if this is permitted, and redo the Apache install - just remember that this may be against your own company's policy, and that you will lose logon access with your domain account, so it might be better to try it on a test W2K PC not in the domain. Are you running SP4 with the latest updates? Did you try shutting down all other applications, including anti-virus, while installing (you should unplug your network cable before you shutdown anti-virus)?

The install will stall with the bar graph all most at the end and will then time out. I have installed the same software, on the same network on another machine I have that is a WinXp and less "modern" I have tried install for both all users and current user. I have shut all programs down I have rebooted Is there something I could have running that could affect the install ? Thanks Matt Installing on a work network.
