Hi all, Maybe it is good to give some extra information, if it helps: It hangs, the only thing it does is making the temporary folder. After it has done that, it will sit an hour doing nothing (as far as I can see). That's why I think it hangs at least.
I am using Virtualbox version 5.0.24 r108355, for if that's interesting... Anyway, I tried to install it on a .vhd and a .vdi virtual harddrive it happend on both. My system is just a single core CPU, with 32MB RAM and a 500MiB hdd. I will look if I can find a solution to this on my own.....
