fortunately,this Problem will Be Solved by simply clicking the Run Program and the Setup Started.. 🙂 , as you are running the setup,its possible that setup might become too very slow on places such as “searching for installed components” , “finishing installation” etc..dont worry its,totally normal! just wait for the setup interface to come up 🙂
