Yes, I failed to mention that I unchecked the import option, unchecked the update automatically, and chose 'do not register', just as you mentioned. I also thought that it may be hanging on net access, so I tried installing on another machine (disabled its ethernet card), and repeated the before-mentioned options. That installed successfully (on another machine). Thank you for the info on where the user data is stored. That gives me a few ideas to try.
