Express Edition SP2 - How long to wait for complete installation?

Just curious if there's a reason why everytime I try to apply the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 from Windows Update that it will sit at "Installing" and appear to do nothing (no hard drive activity, but the MSI and setup processes are chewing a little bit of CPU time). How long should I give this update to complete? I am running a 2-CPU dual-core Xeon 3.0GHz w/ 2GB of RAM setup, so I would have thought it would be completed very quickly. :(

Edit:

Disregard; I had to wait for a full 15 minutes! :OFifteen minutes isn't a 'unusual' amount of time. Depends upon what activity is occuring on the computer.|||I was surprised because nothing else was chewing CPU and Firefox was the only other application open besides IE7 running the Microsoft Update.
