Running Eset Smart Security 4.2.40.0 (latest version) x64. I´ve configured it to warn and ask for permission when applications try outbound connections for the first time, but in this case it never triggers that option. So i might be wrong assuming it´s a firwall issue, but on the other hand i´ve seen behavior exactly like this before when applications try outbound connections but never gets the permission.

Possibly, but I'd expect it to time out or something and then return control to the installer. Terminating the process should work too... weird. Well, tried again, same story, but this time i choosed another approach. Installation starts, AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe shows up in temp folder and BANG! installation halts. Killing the Setupimgburn process works fine, but killing the AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe process is not possible at all. Trying to start the installation again just produces error message about not being able to write to AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe. But now i pressed the "Abort" button instead of "Retry" or "Ignore" and installation went thru without problem. AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe process still impossible to kill though, computer needs to be rebooted to stop it. Conclusion: Nothing wrong with Imgburn, something very wrong with Ask Toolbar installer (AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe)

Got 2.5.0.0 installed and wanted to update with 2.5.1.0 installer. The installation halts exactly when the AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe shows up in the temp folder and after that nothing works. No installation, no nothing. Trying to kill the AskInstallChecker-1.4.0.0.exe process does not work. I guess its the Ask Toolbar installer thingamajiggy that causes this, is it in some way trying to contact the Interwebz, my firewall stops it and therefore gets angry with my firewall and stops the istallation?
