Joomla installation hangs during Configuration

If you are installing Joomla 2.5.6 on IIS (I have 5.1 on WinXP), there is a strong possibility that the installation may get stuck during the Configuration stage. Chances are the folder in which you are trying to install is NOT shared & writeable. Go to Windows Explorer and make the folder Shared & Writeable. Then try the configuration stage again and it should go through.
