Isn't it telling you that it's configuring?

Yes, but after so long you wonder if the splash screen is just lying or something. 
Right after I posted this, it finished. I think it was listening.

Yeah, it is afraid.

Other softwares do show that but the information is sometimes changing so fast that you can't even read it.
To be honest... I don't care what they do, as far as they do it right and the software works ok

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Start up task-manager, terminate the process, run setup again, google the error-messages, delete some temp-files, delete some registry-entries, run setup again.

Instead I deleted my registry and recreated it by hand.
Then I booted from the kernel and I'm actually just running the command prompt to type this.
It's working great.

Best advice of all. William Shatner should cheer up anyone and make you forget all about bad splash screens. Next Generation is good too.

I think you misinterpreted the message.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

They're not useless.

I believe the patent the designer took out on the black rectangle and light blue ink design may have been what earned them the money for that one.

Your first mistake is not understanding what's going on...
That's NOT a splash screen. It's an installation screen.
Two very different things.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Okay, now it all makes sense.
Is it a mistake to not understand what's going on? Or is it a failure? I believe it is most probably a failure, because a mistake sounds more like something that could've possibly been causes by someone else. I think in this case I'm more of a failure, because I should've looked up the type of screen I was actually dealing with before I could really understand whether or not 1 hour was really a long time. A mistake would've been something more like tripping over my power cord -- by accident -- and having the whole system shut down. I'm going to have to dock you on points for not being more specific.
You've most certainly failed the class now.

I don't want to know what is doing. All I care about is the time left to finish install. I have seen installers showing that they are deploying SomeRandomName.dll. I frankly have no clue what that means and thus I do not really care much.

That's actualy what I meant, but since we have the power of the Internet, I knew I could just quickly spew my rant and someone, somewhere in the Universe would finally say what I meant.
That really is what I meant. Just let me know when you're done. will it be 5 hours? Ok. Then I'll go watch William Shatner and some Star Trek.
Thanks,

They said we "can", not we "have", put a person on Mars. However, they also didn't mention being able to bring them back!

It's a foregone conclusion, which is all we really need any more.
So it's happened in the future-past. Get with the times, man.

I have just discovered that Spotify has almost the complete collection of Midnight Oil. I am like a pig in poo this weekend. A couple of bottles of red, the Oils, and Visual Studio. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What's on your neighbour-friendly audio output devices this weekend?
cheers
