I have had it downloaded and installing for over 40 minutes and it is less than half done.

Holy Crap! It looked like it was almost finished then started a second round of intallations that look to three times the time and size of the first part. This looks like it might be a multi-hour install.

Status: offline 		It is a large install both in file size and number of files. It installs here in about half an hour, but if you have aggressive anti-virus software that tries to check everything, it may take much longer. We recommend disabling anti-virus security software before the install and re-enabling afterwards as we do check everything before it goes up on the store to make sure it's virus-free.

Regards,

- Erik

The good news is that once installed, it runs well even on the minimum spec hardware in my experience. I was running a lot of the test builds on an older laptop without an issue, but installation did take quite a while.

Regards,
