Trouble Rooting on ICS 4.0.3

i'm semi-new to the rooting game, i rooted and flashed cyanogen to a captivate a while back with ease, but rooting this thing is troubling me.


I downloaded ODIN v1.85
Installed and updated Kies
.net files were installed with Kies installation
Phone is running ICS 4.0.3
Phone is In "Odin Download" mode
Odin sees the IDCOM number just fine
Siyah selected under PDA
It runs, and gets down to zImage and then stalls out
(i.e. Initialization, Get PIT for Mapping, Firmware Update Start, zImage)
Ive done it four times and each time it just stalls
What is my first troubleshooting step?
 
I managed to solve the issue. Installed .net 4 framework and tried again. It failed the first time and gave me the "Recover from Kies" screen. I ran odin again on that screen and it worked. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

I put this information up in case someone goes through what i did.
