MSDE Install Hangs for hours

Our application uses MSDE. On one computer running Windows XP. The MSDE
intstall runs for 4+ hours and never completes.
Here are the last few lines of the msde install file- Any ideas on what
might be happening?
Starting custom action NoRebootReplace

Are you launching the installation from code / any other mechanism that is
waiting for setup.exe to terminate.
There is some weird issue in the MSDE install package that causes the
sqlredis action to hang if anything is waiting for the parent process to exit.
I haven't seen a good answer on why that happens.
Hope that helps
