blueCFD-Core Installer seems to stall/stop

This was originally reported in issue #262, where the installer's progress bar seems to stop at around 20% and doesn't move for days.

In that specific situation, it was not 100% certain, but it's possible that due to having 3 anti-virus installed, resulted in stalling the installer.

Nonetheless, if this happens on a laptop, then the first step is to turn on Performance mode for the CPU performance, so that the anti-virus can run as fast as possible.

Beyond this, if it still seems to not progress, then it is advisable to take things step by step:

1. Test the blueCFD-Core installer file directly with each individual anti-virus.
2. Turn off Internet access, before turning off any of the anti-viruses.
3. Only turn off one anti-virus at a time, at the point where the installer seems to stop working, to try and see which one is locking up permissions. Keep at least one of them turned on, just in case.
4. Usually there is also the possibility to add a permission for the folder or installer for the anti-virus to not be as forceful with how it checks files.
5. Turn back on all anti-virus after installation.
6. Then turn back on the Internet access.
7. Re-check with each anti-virus the blueCFD-Core installation... just in case.
