Installed C# express two hours ago and the mscorsvw process is still

running.
This process is pre-compiling classes? How long is it

supposed to take?
The task manager will not let me set the priority of the

task which is currently set to normal and it is slowing everything down.

I have no cpu idle time at all.

It precompiles the high priority assemblies first,

that should take 5-10 minutes only, it is not supposed to slow everything down

as it should run as a low priority process unless you do a lot of IO or your

system is low on memory. Once the low priority assemblies are done it compiles

the low priority ones during system idle time.

How long is it supposed to take on a machine like mine?
I'd like to see how far it is, how long it will take, and be able to specify that I want it to run at once - could that be added to the next Framework beta installer?

Again, is it normal to still be running?

I experienced the same issue on my Win2k Server OS running SP4 and every patch Windows Update can find. During installation I assume the last step is to NGEN since now that I have installed twice both time the "mscorsvw" process continually throws exceptions until I reboot. Once reboot the "optimization" service takes over the computer until I get so frustrated that I Uninstall the Framework.

Prior to running the install on the Win2k computer though I ran the VS 2k5 install, which installs the 2.0 Framework, on my Window XP Pro computer it completed without error or problem. This is why I am lead to believe that it is an OS difference problem. Just though I would post my finding so everyone can benifit a little.

I noticed that the Feedback post said that the issue has been fixed. So is there a release date for a build that contains the fix?
