I am using Microsoft Update and experiencing the same problem. When pressing
Custom it just goes on...and on...and on... and on.

In fact; i left it running over night. On my return at 8am this morning, it
was still running.

I did not have this problem with Windows Update. It started happening with
Microsoft Update.
