VS2015 install keeps hanging

I'm trying to install vs2015 CTP5 on a fully updated Windows 8.1 and the install keeps hanging (for an hour or so) on the LocalESPCui for en-us Dev12 step.

I'm using the .iso that is mounted with PowerISO, how can I make it to finish the install?

The install never worked and always kept hanging on the same point.

Tried the following things:

  • Run the .msi for the .. package -> didn't work
  • Remove VS2013 which was installed at the time -> didn't work
  • Tried downloading the .iso from the msdn library -> didn't work
  • Tried the web installer -> didn't work
  • Tried removing all the registry keys linked to Visual Studio -> didn't work
  • Reinstalled Windows 8.1 and ran the web installer -> Successful

It nows runs without problems.
