Sitecore module installation takes forever/ never ends

Recently I  am tasked out to create sitecore items programatically from xml files. I started looking for available solutions and felt Sitecore Powershell Extensions (SPE) could be quite handy for a PoC.

So, I downloaded the module for Sitecore 8 from market place and started installing it using Sitecore Installation wizard. My installation never ended.

As a primary check, I did below but couldn't get anything useful

• I verified my logs to see if there are any exceptions
• I ensured the IIS_USR account has appropriate permissions 

Then started to bing for any similar cases. As expected I am not alone with this problem. Below are the actual sources helped me with the solution. It hardly took 5 min to make the changes and bingo my module is installed

So, instead of going to with above solutions, I just disabled my Analytics until installation. Now installation was successful and I re-enabled the setting

 <!--  ANALYTICS ENABLED
            Determines whether analytics is enabled or not.
            Default: true
      -->
      <setting name="Analytics.Enabled" value="false">
</setting>
