Evidently, some versions of the Vise Installer don\’t quite work properly under Mac OS X…
Here\’s why… Â The symptom is that your computer slows down or stops responding… Â The Installer splash screen may display, but the Vise Installer typically stops at the \”Gathering Details\” screen.
Why? Â You have a \”network volume\” mounted, it could be an WEBDAV, SMB, or NFS volume… Â Even your Time Machine drive may cause this problem.
Quit the Vise Installer, and then eject ALL your ejectable drives & network drives, and try it again.
See Mac OS X 10.3: Slows or Stops Responding While Using VISE Installer for Apple\’s tech note on this topic.
