Does it just take a really really long time, or am I messing something up.
It normally should not take that long on a Virtual Machine however I have seen it take a while on a physical system when there was defective hardware on the system and I'd assume that if something is corrupt in the Virtual Machine then it could cause it to hang as well.
I'd start by shutting down, not suspending, the Virtual Machine and close Fusion and reboot the Mac and then try it again and see if it hangs.
I shut down the VM, closed Fusion, rebooted. Gets as far as "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration..." then it hangs, the disc spins for a bit then everything gets quiet.
