The apostrophe in the path is the issue. Either rename the folder called Nimra's to remove the apostrophe, or move to a different folder.

Something in the install process is reading the ' as the beginning or end of a string, which is causing the installation to stall/crash.

It may also make your life easier later to remove the spaces from your path (MY LOCKUP & IT WORK). In general, avoid special characters in file & folder names, whenever possible.
