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
