with wine 5.20 I am only able to see Visual studio text on black/grey background and it vanishes quite fast. Clearly it fails to install. I would not call it a hang, just fails.
Huh, I'm pretty sure that I fixed this with commit 34ed1e37da1e1c1cfd641f1f16b0e00030cbb357 and forgot to close this bug. Would you mind trying with something like wine-4.20 and seeing if that works for you? (if it does, then it would be awesome if you open another bug and do a regression test to find where the installer broke)
