   Trying to Install XNA but VS 2005 SP1 patch is hanging
  I've downloaded the service pack 1 for Visual C# 2005, but whenever I run the installer, the initial dialog runs a progress bar to about 95% then just stops indefinitely. The following text is displayed:Quote:Please wait while the update is being applied. This may take several minutes to several hours depending on the products you have installed.I only have C# installed so I don't understand what the issue is. I've downloaded this twice and both have had identical effects. I've also let the dialog sit for a few hours with no success. I have VC#, C++ and VWD 2008 Betas installed as well, but I've been told these will not interfere with VS 2005.I really want to use XNA so this is really bugging me and google is no help. Can anyone help?   
  Have you tried reinstalling VS 2005?   ;  The creators.xna.com forums would probably be the best place to go for this kind of help (many questions are answered by Microsoft employees).  The members there answer these kinds of questions all the time.   ;  It took 8 hours to apply VS05 SP1 on my old development machine (AMD Athlon 1800mHz, 1.5GB). On my newer machine (Athlon 64 5600+ X2, 4GB) it took only fourty minutes or so. Nevertheless, it is really not an understatement that it can take several hours :)I seem to recall that the reason for the delay in SP1 install is caused by a huge list of dependencies that the installer has to resolve.On all my machines, the service pack has worked very well after the installs have finally completed.;  It took me several hours to install the service pack on my top-of-the-line development machine at work.  But fear not, it eventually finishes.  Luckily you can still get online and browse nudy pics until it finishes...
