RE: Deployment Time

Hello Asanka,

Everything installs succesfully. It just takes a very long time to do so.  
You may be right on it taking forever ever on the loopback adapter, 
becuase when I was deploying a repackaged version of OpenAFS (prior to 
your wonderful MSI's) I used confloop.msi a driver wrapper that somebody 
wrote to install the loopback adapter and I also experienced this long 
delay.  I will send you the information that you require when I get back 
to work.

Thanks,
Ayo
