I downloaded the update for Roxio RecordNow 10 Music Lab on Apr 28. And then I ran the program. (Op sys: Windows Vista). First, it asked me for serial number and language and agreement to the legal threats. No problem there. Then it began uninstalling the old stuff. Ok -- fair enough. The thermometer showing "progress" was stuck on about 20% complete for a very long time. Then, inexplicably, it budged, and now it's at about 1/3, where it's been for at least five minutes. I can't really tell whether it's running slowly or whether it's stopped. I have the feeling this will continue for ever.

It's somewhat later now, what if anything has happened?

I blame it all on Global Warming / Global Cooling / Global Staying the Same [pick one]

Thank you for asking. I went away for several hours and when I came back, the installation had finished. It seems to have installed ok.

Glad to hear it finally went okay.
The EMC 10 install is a very long process too, compared with earlier versions, so I think the time you experienced was probably normal for the Music Lab 10 update - but this update takes much longer than other versions.

I'm not happy.I installed MYDYD 10 only this morning & had the same experience. The whole process took just over an hour to install. Think you have to be patient with this software. It's the longest installation time of any software I've ever had.
