This is standard installation time. If this continues, the download might be frozen.

I've been having a similar problem except it never said installing at the bottom. The blue bar moved and filled up, but the icon remained greyed out. Upon restarting the application, it was as if I didn't install anything, and restarting my pc changed nothing when I tried again. I've left it for nearly an hour once to no avail.

Well, the Job class already has an "Abort" method. However it forcefully cancels the thread. Depending on what your job actually does it could have unpredictable sideeffects. It's usually better to implement an "abort" boolean which you check frequently inside your job code and simply terminate the job. This boolean can be set to true from outside on demand.

It does take more than 5 mins to install .However, I have faced the issue where it just does not end. I cancelled the download, restarted my pc and redownloaded it which fixed this error. Another time when I encountered this issue was when I, unknowingly , was out of storage when trying to install it. So, try these if they help.

The installer is a buggy pos. It has been giving people issues with installing since 2018. There was a long thread here that admins finally locked last year with “report as bug” recommendation. So it seems even they have given up.

Yes of course :) Most classes I've posted here on UA I have released under the MIT license. But those are usually hosted externally (Dropbox, pastebin). This post I've written from scratch directly here on UA. I think I've never actually used it myself ^^.
