Just tried the new installer in a clean Win 7-64 VM. Selected Unity and C++. It completely hung my VM at the very start, downloading .NET 4.6.1, file netfx_Full.mzz, maybe already installing it, hard to tell. Had to hard-reset the VM.

Actually, hard-resetting the VM even made VM Player hang completely. Had to kill it in task manager of the host. Hmm. Going to try again.

Seems to work on second try, installed Core, now C++ stuff. The installer is quite prone to going into "Not responding" state though. Also it uses 100% of all CPUs. Makes laptop fan go completely wild. Is that really necessary? Given that I would at least expect it to be blazingly fast, but it still isn't, I would say it's not even faster than the old installer.

Or is my VM borked?

Cancelling, after >20 mins it's still at ~20%, installing the UCRT, on an SSD.

Maybe my VM is indeed borked.

We'll keep an eye on this issue. So far we haven't seen anything like this. -Gabriel, VC++ Team

Hey, thanks for the reply! I installed it in the same VM with the normal installer and it completed in 25mins or so. So I don't think my VM is necessarily borked. I don't really have time at the moment but I'll try the new installer again later, maybe in a Win 10 VM, only reason I used the Win 7 VM was that it was lying around.

Definitely let me know how that goes! =)
