  Sounds like setup.exe successfully created the basic directory structure,
but then untarring the packages failed for some reason.  Are you completely
sure you didn't accidentally choose "Download from internet" rather than
"Install from internet"?  What does it say in /etc/setup/last-action?  Are
there any obvious errors indicated in  /var/log/setup.log.full?

  Otherwise, are you by any chance running any of:


Sonic Solutions burning software containing DLA component

Norton/MacAffee/Symantec antivirus or antispyware

Logitech webcam software with "Logitech process monitor" service

Kerio, Agnitum or ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall

Iolo System Mechanic/AntiVirus/Firewall

LanDesk

Windows Defender 

Embassy Trust Suite fingerprint reader software wxvault.dll



    cheers,
