1. Re: Captivate 8 Installer Win 8 never completes initializing
Apparently the installer did initialize at some point. I'm used to Captivate installing super fast. Ten minutes later, I have a Sign-in Required dialog showing. I click Sign-in, but nothing is happening.
Is this just something weird with Win 8.1?

2. Re: Captivate 8 Installer Win 8 never completes initializing
Some additional information for anyone in the same boat. I eventually saw an error dialog stating there was a problem with Creative Cloud, which was not installed at all. I've just installed Creative Cloud (which also took way too long) and will be restarting to install Captivate. I still haven't figured out if the problem is tied to installing to a secondary drive.

3. Re: Captivate 8 Installer Win 8 never completes initializing
Here's the final update on this, again in case someone runs into something similar.
The issue wasn't with installing Captivate on a secondary drive. I had another secondary drive that was causing the huge lag. After fixing the problem with that one, Captivate installed like a champ.
- Use the Task Manager > Performance tab to identify hardware that may be causing issues.
- Fix any hardware issues.
- Try to install Captivate again.
