Daniel,

If you're willing to temporarily rename the existing installation root
(and the registry keys) and reinstall from scratch, please post the
/var/log/setup.log and /var/log/setup.log.full from an install session
that exhibits the above problem.  Note that /var/log/setup.log.full is
overwritten every time you run setup.  After the install, you can rename
the old directory back (and the registry keys, if you did something fancy
with mounts or options -- otherwise they should be identical).
	Igor
