Following on from D.Singh’s post, I too noticed that the install freezes at 12% on a new laptop, with Vista, and with .NET 1.1, and later the 3.5 already installed. Just thought I’d share how I got around this problem:
Ensured the .NET 1.1 etc installed. Downloaded the sttm.exe into a folder and then ran the program when it froze at 12% (internet was on).
As I had downloaded the sttm.exe on another XP machine where it worked OK, and saved a copy on a USB drive, I had the USB drive at the time and as the install froze at 12% on the Vista machine, cancelled the not responding (checked via Task Manager to confirm), and copied the sttm.exe program from the USB drive onto the Vista machine into a folder. I then ran it from there by double clicking it as usual, and yes it went past the 12% and installed without a glitch. Went through the usual prompts until a desktop was created. Double clicked the desktop icon to start the new sttm and it prompted to install the patch (1.74MB) which I did and all worked OK.
At 1024×768 setting, sttm goes off screen after it loads. You can manually resize it from the edges using your mouse, or change the settings (via properties on your desktop) to 1152×864, then back again to 1024×768 and it auto fits the screen!. Long winded but whatever suits the user.
Hope that’s useful.
