Question Installing "Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)"...please wait.

So I purchased the hard goods version of CIV5 today. I'm stuck on - Installing "Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)"...please wait - going on an hour and a half now. Is this normal?

I meet all of the system requirements.

Sorry, i have no idea about how long it should take, but that is probably already too long.

It might be worth trying to install the "Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)" separatly before, but i don't really have an idea at the moment.
