I got the same error when I was re-installing Spectra 1.5.2 on CF MX. Fortunately, my brilliant network administrator was working with me and suggested, "just edit the URL to skip to the next step". Lo and behold - it worked! Just edit the next step variable to the next number (4 to 5 perhaps) and don't worry about any URL vars after that. Hope it works for you, too.
