Yes, it takes a while. There were complaints during open beta about the faster installers because they were single-use, so we changed them to be non-destructive but slower.
Installation time depends on the speed of your computer. If you haev a low end computer, liek a low range core 2 duo, then its goign to take a while, while setups, like a phenom system with sata raid 0 drives, would be a lot faster.
Stuck on Binns2 for quite sometime when I ran the install.
I just ejeccted the DVD during that phase, and ithe install screen went to a finished process.
Then I got a 9gb download. So I am just installing via a giant patch apparently.

That's kewl. Should be done here shortly.
Yea, your basically downloading the entire game. Meaning the same files that are on your DVD, plus a few additions.
man... installing WoW and the 2 expansions and all the updates takes less time to do than installing STO... this bins3.hog, how big is this thing?? is it really a Hog??
I'm having problems installing the game. The install bar seems frozen at \bins.hogg ... I've been waiting roughly 30minutes oin the run...
After first having the issue I read up in the forums \bins.hogg... I uninstalled and tried again... I looked in the cryptic folder and it was empty so I just deleted the whole cryptic folder before restarting the computer then reinstalling the game again. Still stuck at \bins.hogg ....
My computer is pretty fast. Installs windows in less than 10 minutes... I meet all minimum requirements for the game times (x's) 3...
I just downloaded the starter (for lack of a better word). It took approximately 12 hours. -.- THEN it took maybe an hour for the installer. And finally, I'm still "patching in" but so far that's taken an additional hour and a half. I haven't even been on yet. This better be one hell of a game.

edit: Make that several hours
Edit: Ok, just as I hit reply it moved on to data.hogg. I'll be more patient :P
how long should this take?
Or you could use the downloader

Windows is much smaller than that file. STO's data files are just really really big. (It's mostly because of the huge quantity of textures and maps)
