Description

ChocolateyGUI 0.16.0 seems to freeze for a long time while installing RetroArch 1.7.6, which mostly involves extracting a >150MB .7z archive. Some kind of threading issue?

I think it recovers if you wait long enough.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue described with ChocolateyGUI 0.16.0 by installing RetroArch 1.7.6 and observing the UI while the larger .7z archive is extracted. Trace the installation and archive-extraction path to identify where the interface stops responding. Done means the installation completes without a prolonged apparent freeze, with regression coverage for this scenario.
