Visual Studio 2013 Hang installer
Problem: The installer is stuck at "Setting up your system ... it may take a while" every time I try to install. I tried regular (full) install, web installer, temp uninstall, package uninstall. Nothing works. I also tried to install with UAC but does nothing

Solution by OP.
I figured out a workaround.
At first I noticed that the problem was with "package-finalizer"
Registering package dependency provider: {FD51D6A8-D687-463D-85AE-BBF1B650CD99}, version: 12.0.21005, package: professional_finalizer
So I extracted it from the iso and ran it with msiexec
msiexec /i professional_finalizer.msi /lv "log.log"
the log file had this
09/18/14 21:46:22 DDSet_Status: Launching "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup /AllowDuringSetup /log "C:\Users\~~~~~\AppData\Local\Temp\VS1.tmp"
09/18/14 21:46:22 DDSet_Entry: Starting process, will wait for up to 60 minutes to complete...
And so I ran C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ Common7 \ IDE \ devenv.exe "/ setup
And Bingo, It works
