Installer for 20.7 hangs at "Select Task" on Hyper-V Server 2019 Generation 2 VM

Hello.  :)

Just FUI, the installer for version 20.7 seems to still hang at "Select Task" on Hyper-V Server 2019 Generation 2 VMs.
This was reported in the past here, for an older version of OpnSense, and the same behavior still applies:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=10136.0

Also, when the installer finished (after applying the hacks mentioned in the linked post) and tried to reboot, I remember getting an input/output error message. And I had to reboot manually.
Also, when I try to update OpnSense from the management console, I always get this message:

Error updating repositories!
A firmware update is currently in progress.

It is a shame that OpnSense doesn't work in Hyper-V.
I really liked OpnSense and it's abilities.
And Hyper-V is quite amazing too, being 100% free and 100% controlled with PowerShell.

Any hints or ideas are welcome.

I have three different OPNsense VMs running on windows server 2019 hyper-v (not all at the same time, but different versions). It's correct that the installer still requires being interrupted in two places, but aside from that, it installs and runs fine. The installer problem is not a show-stopper.

As for your other problem, I haven't experienced it. I occasionally encounter a message that OPNsense cannot communicate with the update server, but it usually works if I try again.

Have been running opnSENSE for a few years on Hyper-V and Generation 2 since support was added to BSD. Other than the interrupt for the guided installation, I have been fine except for a few issues related to particular updates; none of which have stopped the instance from working.

OK, I think the update problem was caused by a misconfigured network interface.
Probably, only the error message was wrong.
The web interface seems functional too, so that's good.

Nice to hear that there is nothing wrong once you get it installed.
I will give it a try too!  ;)
