Why no visual feedback when uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1

Question

I am attempting to un-install Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 from a Windows 7 RC machine.

Selected: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Beta 1 - ENU
Clicked "Uninstall/Change"
No visual feedback.
Clicking the "Uninstall/Change" again does nothing for a while then returns with a message indicating the windows installer is busy with another process.
Task manager indicates that "Msiexec.exe" CPU usage (0% -> 50%)

Why is there no visual feedback? Is this by design?

It's Beta? Check the MSDN site for updates and possible issues. How long have you waited?

	Cannot kill the process either. It keeps restarting. – pauly Oct 12 '09 at 4:56
	I had no such problems. The uninstall finished quite fast. – alex Oct 12 '09 at 5:45
