The following takes place on November 7th, 2008 with a PC running Windows XP PRO, Service Pack 3…

Ok, so I go to install some ANTARES stuff on a new PC and everything is going fine until the computer restarts (this is normal for iLOK/PACE) and the installer says it will now “RESUME” it’s install. I Click OK, GO AHEAD or whatever and at about 90%  done (according to the progress bar) it just sits there. So, I wait, and wait, and wait.

I power the computer off and upon restarting, Ive got NO iLOK drivers and I can’t run any of my iLOK protected stuff. What gives!?

Well, here is what’s going on… The last part of the ANTARES install - INSTALLS the iLOK drivers. For some reason this latest version of the iLOK (or PACE) drivers does NOT like it when you are connected to the internet. So, just disconnect your internet connection - IE: unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your wireless connection and BINGO! - When you next restart your computer, the install will complete.

At this point you can re-connect to the internet.
