I’m having the same problem. I’m installing into a Virtual PC 2004
instance with 256MB ram.

It has been on "Setting up personalized settings for: Windows Desktop
Update" for about 5 hours. (timing out and going back to login screen
a few times)

I’m using the July 2006 CTP

Installing build 5472 under MS VirtualServer running on XP
SP2.

Setup nearly completes normally, but then presents to the
dialog:

Personalized Settings
Setting up personalized settings for:
Windows Desktop Update

The setup stalls here, and if left long enough, the desktop
times out and
locks itself. I can click on my user icon to reactivate my
desktop session,
but it remains stalled in the same place. I've left it here
for a couple of
hours, but no progress.

Anyone else have this issue?

TIA,
Scott

You should allocate a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, as this is the minimum
recommendation by Microsoft for any iteration of Vista. They also recommend
a minimum of 1 GB of RAM for a "Premium Edition" of Vista, which describes
Vista Ultimate. There are many instances of successful testing done with
only 512MB, however.
