John Laurence Poole added the comment: I attempted to install on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and had the same problems. I thought it might be proxy since I'm behind a firewall, but setting the usual values did not allow the program to overcome whatever it is that PIP is having problems with.
here's the log at the failure point: MSI (s) (2C:BC) [11:10:26:806]: Executing op: CacheSizeFlush(,) MSI (s) (2C:BC) [11:10:26:806]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=UpdatePip,,) Action 11:10:26: UpdatePip.
