> UX designers demand stuff

Really? Demand? This is an installer that you will see maybe once a year, probably not even that. You will forget everything about it the moment it terminates, so why not use the default progress bar the OS provides and call it a day?

The installer is the first impression your user will have of your application.

And that hanging leaves a great impression :)

Then most companies have impressed on me that they hire chimpanzees to design/code Windows installers and the like.
