Symptom
On Windows, the installer stops responding during the browser install step after the download shows 100%, with no success or failure.
Evidence what you'll see
- Download reaches 100% then nothing happens
- Windows 11 with Hermes-Setup.exe
- The reporter could extract the same downloaded archive by hand in under a second
Cause
The Node.js dependency stage ran npm install and the browser install with no time limit, so a stalled step hung the whole installer.
