dvdbane, Thanks, turning off the Wifi did it. However, something went a little weird with the adapter; when I went to turn it back on it said it was on, but the tray icon showed it off; the troubleshooter fixed the problem (it was actually off).
What is setup trying to do over the internet during the installation that causes it to hang?

i have read in another thread that the av blocks ccleaner installer with google-setup-link-thing... (i dont know what av this was) thats why the "normal" ccleaner hangs
Windows 8.1 x64 Pro here, installed without issues over ethernet, didn't attempt to use Wi-Fi, but I'm going to assume that it's an anti-virus blocking the Google Chrome offer

I suspect you're correct. Apparently CCleaner setup is trying to communicate with a server during the update; when setup sees no internet connection it just continues with the installation. I suspect setup was trying to load some (unwanted) third party software that was blocked by my security setting and that caused it to stall when the internet connection was active.
It could also be signature checking if you have windows set to verify the certificate of installers/executables
Signature checking is done during the download of the setup not during the execution. Piriform will release Setup_slim build that excludes the third-party add-ons.
