I went to this page and clicked on the “Install the ASP.NET MVC Framework using the Web Platform Installer” link and proceeded with the installation.
The only option I selected was to install the Web Deployment Tool and now I am staring at the following screen for the last 2 hours with no updates to the progress bar

I assume that I am installing the MVC framework (that was the intent) as well as an optional Web Platform Installer component but I am concerned about the lack of progress of the installation and the length of time that it is taking.
I am afraid of aborting the installation and leaving my PC in an ugly state. Sometimes the uninstall cancellation takes longer that the installation would have.
Does this installation normally takes this long?
No. Normally just a few minutes depending on net speed.
