Re: Need help installing WindRiver

@Dusk Star:
Unfortunately, I'm actually no farther along. If you look at the first installation, it's installing the "Wind River Compiler 5.4.0". If you look at what it failed at in the other one, it's also "Wind River Compiler 5.4.0". I had installed Wind River Workbench 3.0 previous to taking the initial screenshot, but had cleared everything out for a fresh install for the second one. Thanks for the information, though!

Edit: Okay, this is striking me as very strange. I brought home the CD to install on my desktop, which is a 64-bit Windows 7 intel i7. Strangely enough, I couldn't get very far in the install without it freezing when the CD was in the built in Optiarc DVD RW AD-7230S (or so it says in Device Manager). Notably I couldn't get past the licensing part when it would suddenly stop responding, giving me quite a hassle as it would not respond to being shut down by the Task Manager or end processing. I later realized that removing the disc from the drive, causing a "There is no disk in drive D" error message and clicking cancel could end that a lot quicker.

However, the interesting thing is I decided to give it a shot and plug in my external disk drive, the same one I mentioned earlier. I tried installing it through that. I had no freezing or locking up in a "not responding" sequence. I did, however, get past the first install and fail at the second, just like I had with both other laptops. I unfortunately don't have any other disk drives to try currently, but why would my computer's built in DVD drive cause freezing while the external disk drive causes the compiler to be unable to be installed?

For notes, as I thought it might be an operating system issue, my Desktop is a 64 bit Windows 7, the Classmate we have is a 32-bit Windows 7, and the other laptop I had tried to install it on was a 32-bit Windows XP. Tomorrow I do plan to buy a laptop for my team, as we really could use a faster and higher resolution laptop for our electronics team. Hopefully, if the laptop we get has a disk drive, that one will work. For now, I've gotten myself more confused. Does anyone have any thoughts a to what might cause this?
