yea, it should only take 5-20minutes depending on the amount needed to download and connection speed.
Im assuming the redistributable hangs as well if launched manually? You can find it in the Skyrim directory in the DirectX 10 folder. Just run the setup as Admin.
If that coniues to hang, Im not sure what to suggest. But it doesnt seem to be a issue with Steam or the game itself.
Have you tried running a sfc /scannow? And, what does your dxdiag show?
