After overcoming this and this issue my hurdles don't seem to be coming to an end.

SQL Server 2017 Developer edition installation is going on endlessly. The installer isn't coming to an end and seems to have stuck on below step for last few days now:

  • Install_MsMpi_Cpu64_Action

My task manager shows as below for this ongoing installation:

Here is what I saw through process explorer tool if that provides any clue:

Operating System Info: Windows 10

This machine is freshly built and there are no older installations of any previous versions of SQL Server on this machine. I chose to create a named SQL Server instance even though this is the first SQL Server instance on this machine. Can anyone help me with some pointers to go past this issue?

Actual problem is Python Server; To add this feature it would take more time to download 850MB+ file, extract it and install the same;

Yes, I have successfully installed after 45 mins in time with the network :(

But after that I could see the "Installation is completed" Message.. :)

For now, I couldn't figure out any resolution of this particular solution after trying to figure out the root cause of hung up process for few days.

As an alternative path, I tried the same setup on a server operating system ( Windows Server 2012 R2) where I was able to install is successfully. I believe this issue is specific to client OSes like Windows 10 where I was trying earlier. I'm posting this info in case someone finds it useful even though this isn't a real solution.
