Avast For Mac Won't Install Stuck At Installing Scripts To Illustrator

I just downloaded Office 365 for Mac, and tried to install it in macOS Sierra 10.12.5. The installation froze when Running Package Scripts. It is a common problem. Installation of Office 365 for Mac is freezing at “Running Package Scripts” (Sierra) Ask Question. My Mac seems to be stuck on installing 3 items - running package scripts.I also have an installation alert that says to close iTunes to continue installation. However iTunes wasn't even opened when I started the software update.

I have a set of task sequences used for Vpro tasks. On most clients, they run successfully. However, on some number of clients, the task gets stuck in an 'Installing' state in the software center, preventing any other deployments from taking place.

I downloaded the full ISO for Visual Studio Ultimate CTP 6. The installation program got to about the 90% mark, gauging by the progress bar, and just stuck there. There was frequent activity from Superfetch, Anti-malware protection, and other background processes, but the progress bar was dead still. Eventually the background task activity subsided after 20 minutes, but the progress bar still wouldn't budge.

CHEAP TRICK: Open a notepad window and position the left edge of it so it perfectly marks the current position of the progress bar. If it the progress bar doesn't move past the left edge of the notepad window in about an hour, it's probably stuck.

This was a case of one of the sub-installers getting stuck during the install and never completing. Unfortunately when this happens, it looks like the master installer never times out the operation. The trick is to open up the Task Manager in detail mode, and look for a sub-installer process that is showing 0% CPU usage and 0% disk usage, indicating it has died. Then just kill that process and the master installation will resume. In my case, the name of the sub-installer was SecondaryInstaller.exe and according to the installation log it happened while it was trying to install some Android SDK components for the cross platform development modules. It had frozen permanently. I killed it and the master installer completed. When I ran Visual Studio it was fine, although I'm guessing I'll have to do some digging on the Android components install problem.

I temporarily disabled my antivirus (AVG) and restarted the install. That fixed it.

The current version of AVG Free antivirus is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

It does not allow Visual Studio to be installed on the computer. It gets stuck at 'Creating restore point'. Visual Studio installs perfectly when AVG is turned off.
Any code compiled in 'Release' mode targeting x86 platform/environment (in project properties) does not compile. It compiles successfully when AVG is turned off.

I posted the issues in AVG support forum but no one responded.

Same thing happened to me, and I also tried to terminate secondary process from task manager. Do not do that. It is not a solution, but rather a hack which may cause issues later. In my case, I was not even able to uninstall Visual Studio. I tried both web installation and ISO, same issue.

Here is how it worked finally. I restored my Windows 7 to earliest restore point as possible, when there was nothing installed, so I was sure that there would be no conflicts between the different tools (Java, Android API, etc.)

I started the installation of Visual Studio 2015 Community Release Candidate at 10 p.m. At 7 a.m., it was working on Android API 19-21. A hour later, it was finally preparing Visual Studio.

This means that all you need to do is to actually wait 8 to 9 hours. Don't terminate the secondary installer at risk of breaking your Visual Studio; just wait.

During the installation if you think it has hung (notably during the 'Android SDK Setup'), browse to your %temp% directory and order by 'Date modified' (descending), there should be a bunch of log files created by the installer.

Adobe Flash Player For Mac Won't Install

The one for the 'Android SDK Setup' will be named 'AndroidSDK_SI.log' (or similar).

Open the file and got to the end of it (Ctrl+End), this should indicate the progress of the current file that is being downloaded.

i.e: '(80%, 349 KiB/s, 99 seconds left)'

Reopening the file, again going to the end, you should see further indication that the download has progressed (or you could just track the modified timestamp of the file [in minutes]).

i.e: '(99%, 351 KiB/s, 1 seconds left)'

Unfortunately, the installer doesn't indicate this progress (it's running in a separate 'Java.exe' process, used by the Android SDK).

This seems like a rather long-winded way to check what's happening but does give an indication that the installer hasn't hung and is doing something, albeit very slowly.

I had the same problem when I tried to install VS 2015 RC from ISO. It got stuck during Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 & 21, System Images). For me the problem was metered Wi-Fi connection. The installer didn't download necessary files.

Turning off the Internet connection resolved the problem. When installation finished, it said that some components were not installed and it will try to download and install them later.

Check if your Windows has pending updates. After the restart, installation worked as expected.

Alright so after hours of googling and failed attempts at solving this including many of the suggestions above, I found a solution I tried on a whim and worked for me.

Attempt to install the program, then, when it gets 'stuck', cancel it, but don't uninstall.

Then, go to the control panel, go to programs, go and attempt to uninstall it, select 'Repair' instead of Uninstall.

'Repairing' Visual Studio appears to have completely worked and was very quick, under 5 minutes and everything seems to work fine.

This issue is becoming very now, specially for users installing visual studio on windows 10 platform. What Microsoft suggests is disable your anti virus and anti malware programs and a
