No matter what I do, what I choose to install, where the local packages go to etc, I get the following error message: Mount <- that is what is in the title of the message box Cannot create a file when that file already exists. OK When I click on OK, the installation process exists, and nothing is installed. Note that sometimes the entire process is almost finished (the total bar is about 99% full). Googling for "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" reveals that that is some kind of Windows error (code #183), but I have no idea which file is being created. Does anybody have any ideas what could be going on here? I do not want to blow away my current install.
