I have experienced this as well. Yes it does "appear" to hang - but after doing a number of full installs, I am VERY confident that you just need to be VERY patient. It may indeed a couple of hours depending on numerous factors. YMMV. I have no clue what it is that is causing the delay - but the install - given my experience - WILL "eventually" finish correctly.

It's also worthwhile to note that there is a snapshot of new setup functionality that's available at:

One of the things it's supposed to address is the slowness. You might want to try it out and report back your findings.
