Is it normal for SCS to take over an hour to install?

    It takes time, but not that long. At least not for me.

    On my system I think it was installing like 10 - 15 minutes, but I have BG2 installed on SSD.

    It's about 15 min on my desktop from a clean install. It could be a lot longer if you have a lot of mods installed already.

    It took little over 2hours in the end, I did have a lot of mods installed already :)

    I had about 30-40min. Just start the installation and prepare your dinner ;)

    On BGT with tons of mods it take more than one hour.

    Weird, it took me ~ an hour to install on EE on a machine with an overclocked Sandybridge 2600k and a SSD...

    SCS is the only mod I have installed but I didn't even install every component, (none of the item tweaks).

    If you install some components after SCS like I did with the banter pack and Weimers Item upgrade, SCS will start installing all over again. And it's necessary - don't cancel the installation or all your mods will be broken.
    If you've a lot of mods installed, this can take even two hours or more.

    Start the installation and go to sleep :)

    Took about an hour for me as well. Wasn't this long on the earlier versions.

    I have the game installed on SSD, but LOTS of other mods installed before SCS; install is over an hour.

    I still can't install via the steam client! At least yours can install!

    Mine took 20 minutes when installing in vanilla BG2:ToB w/Ascension, best mod combo ever, after BG1 NPC project + SCS, well, maybe... now ToB is playable more than one time.
