Description

I believe this is a problem with my hardware, the installer consumes too much ram (or at least I don't have enough) and it gets stuck near the end of the installation. It recognizes the files without any problem and the installation progresses quickly, but near the end it slows down so much to the point where it simply gets stuck and does not progress, I was waiting for about 5 hours but there was no progress.

I have 8 gb of ram and the task administrator showed me that my ram consume was at 98%. if the issue is my ram i hope they can somehow optimize the installer if that is possible 😭

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation hang described in the issue on a system with 8 GB of RAM while monitoring memory usage, focusing on the point near the end where progress stops. Done means identifying the cause of the excessive memory consumption and confirming that installation completes without becoming stuck.
