Reboot your computer.
This is a known but rare issue that only happens on some Windows
machines. The installer attempts to let the system know that the
OPENSSL_CONF environment variable has been defined. However, some
program in the system fails to respond properly to the message (a
::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, ...) call), so the call
just hangs in OS land before it reaches the important parts of the
Windows subsystem. The bug used the hang the installer when it was a
SendMessage() call. I have no idea what program causes it, but since it
is so rare, I'm now more inclined that it is some piece of malware that
is responsible because the behavior is NOT normal. The broadcast
message is the last thing the installer does so that it won't affect
anything else regarding the installation. Rebooting the computer
corrects the problem since the OS will reload the system environment
variables across all programs as part of that process.
Hopefully this helps.
