Is this a manual install or application install through your hosting tools? – user3520443 May 28 '14 at 08:25

It was manual install. Especially I am facing this issue on only local server using XAMPP. – Ankit Parmar May 29 '14 at 04:24

1This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a Joomla specific installation issue and not programming, you should try the [Joomla Q&A site on StackExchange](http://joomla.stackexchange.com) – Craig May 29 '14 at 22:24

This issue is a very common for those who try to install Joomla! locally using XAMPP and WAMP during Joomla! 3 installation process, it hangs forever at the “Creating database tables” step:
Take following steps to solve the problem:
Go to wamp\www\your-joomla\installation\sql\mysql (if you are using Wampp) or Xampp\htdocs\Your joomla folder\installation\sql\mysql (for Xampp)
Open Joomla.sql file find the term ENGINE=InnoDB and replace all with ENGINE=MyIsam
