Setting up Squeak 6.0 beta 21757-64bit-202205110711-Windows-x64 with 
default options hangs when installing Metacello.

Installed Squeak with default options (next, next, next, etc) until all 
6 steps are done and then selecting everything except deprecated 
packages (also tried installing with the deprecated package, same result!).

Was able to interrupt Metacco install and pop up a debugger but the 
debugger window cannot take the focus!

Screenshot below.
