is this an actual progress bar or just something coded in by the programmer so it appears as if there is something happening but with no actual relation to the progress of the installation?

I swear 90% of the time...

100% of the time with the Win7 explorer progressbar. By now I figured out that it takes 10 seconds to go to 50%, then 10s to go to 75%, then 10s to go to 87.5%, and so on ...

It was the first run after installing Update 4 for VS2012, so just this once, it might actually be legit...
 
-Heat needed to liquefy 1 kg of air: 400 000 joules.
-Heat pumped by my second-hand cryocooler each second: 1 joule, if it's still up to spec after 10 years of unknown service.
-Heat lost through the attempts at insulating the whole rag-tag assembly: Unknown...

If the latter is less than the former, then i should get a trickle of liquid air accumulating in the vacuum flask.
If not, i can wait however long without getting anything out.

I guess i'll find out in the morning, but whatever the answer is, it's going to be quite a tiny trickle.

Isnt that supposed to be a little bit dangerous, given the small amounts of LOX you'll inevitably be creating along with the bulk of liquid Nitrogen?

It isn't nice, but if the thing can't liquefy just air, then there is no point investing into making any sort of dry nitrogen source.

And, as morning is upon us, it can't. :(
Back to square one and watching ebay.
