We are seeing a couple of computers (all running Win 7) that are hanging in installation.  We ran in installer with the log argument and this is what it shows.  We see this with a couple different versions (4.0 and 4.1).  Any ideas?  There aren't any windows waiting for input.  Done with admin user - and tried using command prompt as Administrator - same issue.

Does this also occur with the most recent version (5.0 Update 1)?

It does.  The attached image shows where it gets hung,

Actually, 5.0 Update 1 does finish - just stuck on that screen for about 5 or so minutes.  

Given this, I went back to 4.0 Update 3 and gave it more time.  It did finally complete but I timed it and discovered is was stick on Configuring installer for almost exactly 4 minutes.  

Note that the specific computer I am testing on is a brand new high end machine - very fast.
