I've seen this on certain specific machines (but not on other machines using the same version of setup and the same version/patch level of Winduhs, as far as I can tell).  In my case, the solution is to launch setup with the "-5" command-line option (suppress MD5 verification).

I don't understand why this is helpful, since it also appears to me that checksum processing is complete (and error-free) before the lockup happens...but if I have this problem, and simply rerun with "-5" then it all works normally.

Shrug.
