I've just installed MVC3.0 on a fresh PC using the new web installer application and was surprised at how long it seemed to be taking. Digging around a bit deeper I remembered that in the options I'd selected to use IIS rather than IIS Express and taking a quick look at the service panel highlighted that IIS was currently stopped. I restarted IIS and the MVC3.0 installation finished in seconds!
So if you're having problems installing MVC3.0 then just take a moment to check that IIS is started.

Thanks for the info Paul. My MVC 3 installation was taking ages. Just di what u said and bam, done!
Me too, thanks!
Actually, it requires VS 2010 in the DVD drive
Hi Goran, great that sorted the issue for you - I've not come across that one before. I usually install from virtual ISO images and they are unmounted once finished with but definitely worth watching out for if starting IIS doesn't sort the issue.
