So what have you done at that point when it won't complete?


Try running the installer from a Safeboot

SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


In Safeboot system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, hampering smooth operation, this is normal however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
