We have not had that problem. The installation was a breeze once we got the
license manager working again. However, I hate the new geoprocessing in 9.
It is much more cumbersome than 8.3 and takes more time. I agree with you
completely about the upgrade procedure. You would think they could make it
so you don't have to keep getting new license files or make their
"automated' process faster than a day.

Subject: [gislist] ArcGIS 9 - recommend postponing installation
Dear Listers,
Have had ArcGIS 9 (ArcInfo) installed for less than a week. After a rather
circuitous path to getting it actually installed, and a quick call the ESRI
tech support, I would have to say at this point that I would strongly
recommend postponing installation or upgrading until ESRI cleans things up
and re-issues the CDs. They have pulled a "Microsoft" on this one: the tech
at ESRI confirmed a known issue with installation on a single license
dongle [the license administrate does not record the machine name and so a
secondary step of actually typing it in is required]. But, after having
tried to work with a dataset that worked just fine under 8.x, it has crashed
multiple times so far with 9.x with a fairly major application error. I
really am tired of paying a king's ransom for the privilege of advanced
beta-testing. I will be uninstalling 9.x, and reinstalling 8.x to keep
working. You would also think ESRI could come up with a method that would
truly "upgrade" previous installations without having to completely
uninstall the older version first [in the interest of saving a significant
amount of time...].
...not a happy camper..
Anthony
