I had this issue installing the Beta on a win2k pro machine even with a 256
color graphics card. In my case the issue turned out to be related to a
previous JRun installation. Not sure if that applies to your situation, but
what I had to do was uninstall JRun, then edit my registry to get rid of any and
all references to JRun (apparently the uninstall of JRun didn't do this
completely ...), reboot, and then the CFMX install went fine.
Again, not sure if that will help you in your situation but since the behavior
I saw was the same I thought I'd at least mention it.

Additionally, when the installer gets to 100%, there is some scripting going
on in the background that is not readily apparent. Sometimes this can appear to
be a locked up computer for as long as ten minutes or so. Sometimes it is a
lock-up. Once it does complete, usually a re-boot is needed, although the
specific instructions usually do not appear to tell you to do the reboot.
Upon rebooting, you must run CFMX administrator immediately, which will
complete the install by running quite a few more scripts.
This is one of the very unfortunate things about a great product, and that is
that Macromedia just can't seem to get it together with their installer
packages. It is the same with their other products as well, and especially with
updaters.
