Well, the latest workaround is:
1) delete /var/log/setup.log* by the root a/c
2) cp "download packages"/setup.log* /var/log
3) start setup.exe in user mode and "next" as usual for downloading
4) start setup.exe in "kernel" mode and just "next" as setup.exe in user mode
is running.
5) I could see "next" after MD5 checking and finish the installation in
"kernel" mode.
Yes, I agree there's a file permission problem.

The "Dragon" is the Server 2003 with the problem and the "Zeus" is another
Server 2003 without the problem.
