I downloaded Visual Studio professional edition for my Mac. The installer runs until it's all but done, however it hangs on the "Finishing Installation" stage.

I had the same problem. Mine was stuck at Finishing Installation stage for 4~6 hours; I tried all above/below solutions, but nothing worked for me. But what I figured out later was that the software was successfully installed, but their installation page had an error and never showed that it has been finished. Try opening the Visual Studio and creating a test file. It might be fully installed already.
I experienced the same problem and it turned out to be because of the Antivirus. Uninstall or disable your AV
I had a similar issue. My system hung at the Finishing installation (still going) part as well, but it hung at the Installing Android SDK bit. It seemed that I had installed Android Studio previously on my Mac, but I hadn't uninstalled the Android SDK from the Applications directory along with it which I think hung the process. I stopped the installation, deleted the Android SDK directory from the Applications directory then rebooted, re-started installation and it all went through fine. SO maybe look for previously installed bits and pieces...
Looking at the installation log, my install hung here:
[2019-02-11 19:59:13.934] [Info] Software item 'Android SDK' installed successfully.
[2019-02-11 19:59:13.934] [Info] Status: successful
[2019-02-11 19:59:13.935] [Info] Skipping installation of software item 'Intel® HAXM'
It had been hanging there for an entire episode of Homecoming, so, after reading this and looking around a bit, I just launched Visual Studio, and it appears to be working.
