Installation hangs on "please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements"

By a some reason installation may hang on a dialogue with the "Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements" message (1, 2)

To solve the issue one of the following solutions may help:

• Stop the installation and start it again.
• Start installation from command line with /qr switch (i.e. msiexec /i {name.msi} /qr). (qr swtitch - no interaction with user in dialogue wondows)
• Move msi to a folder with shorter path and run it from there.

What can be done in the msi project:
Remove SpawnWaitDialog event with CostingComplete = 1 condition
CostFinalize does not work

Document Property Parsing in SharePoint

When you upload, move, or copy a file to a document library, Windows SharePoint Services determines if a parser is associated with the document's file type. The parser extracts all the properties and matching property values from the document, and adds them to the property bag object. Windows SharePoint Services accesses the document property bag and determines which properties match the columns for the document. It then promotes those properties, or writes the document property value to the matching document library column.

Windows SharePoint Services can also invoke the parser to demote properties, or write a column value into the matching property in the document itself.

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/winfonts/

The readme file on how to install the package is also included.

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{verdana}
