Is it normal when trying to install the repair version of any Windows build (mine is the Beta version) for it to take forever to install?
Right now I have been waiting for over 4 hours now with it stuck at 61%. Should it continue and should I wait longer?

Well, I finally gave up and stopped the installation. After over 5 hours of installing and stuck at 61%, I shut her down. This repair version has never worked for me, never. I have tried many a time on different builds and it always stops at 61% on ALL of them. ALWAYS.

Any ideas? I really can't figure this out.

Thank you but this is not the problem. As I stated, when I go to install Repair Version, it downloads just fine and then starts to install. When it gets to 61% installation, it stops. As I said above, I waited 5 hours and it never moved. This is not the first time this has happened to me.
