I'm installing SQL Server 2012 in the lab as an evaluation copy. This is the second time I've done this - did it a very weeks ago as a test install and didn't have any trouble. Now I'm doing it again, making notes this time and it's taking forever to do the "Product update" at the very start of the installation. It's attempting to download a mere 26MB but so far it's taken an hour to download 4MB. I've stopped and restarted the set-up a few times, same result. This is installating from an ISO on Windows Server 2012 running on Hyper-V 2012. All the latest - no expense spared. The internet connection is fine - can download other files from Microsoft (e.g. service packs) at the full speed of the lab internet link: about 5MBit/s.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Rob.
PS. I posted the same screenshot in reply to another message about slow updates but decided to start my own thread as I think this is a different problem.
