Today I removed RC1 (via Add/Remove) and tried to install RC2. The install hung shortly after asking me to verify the MD5. CPU and disk activity went to zero. After several minutes I rebooted and tried again with the same results after waiting longer. I then noticed via the Task Manager that tomcat6 was running. I killed it (had to use Process Explorer since Task Manager said access denied) and was able to complete the install. When it got to installing tomcat, it hung as it did on RC1 (CPU and disk activity zero), but I let it sit 15 minutes or so and it completed. I was unable to open the Web UI and have joined a discussion in Web UI sub-forum. I tried restarting my host and it did not look correct at the welcome screen and the desktop. When I click Start and Turn off Computer, the dialog that opens is not the one I am used to seeing. I attach a screen short (image insertion does not seem to work, just one more problem).
I have since performed a System Restore to get my host back and it seems to be OK but RC1 now does not work. In the VMware folder I see VMware VIX and VMware VIX(2). The second is new and I suspect between the remove of RC1, install of RC2 and System Restore that RC1 got damaged.
Hope someone can have a helpful comment. Thanks, John
