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?

If the installer is asking you to provide the location of the package, you can download the ISO, mount it (using WinCDEmu or similar) and then point the installer to <drive>:\packages\EspC. This allowed the installation to continue in my case (VS2015 Update 3).

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.
