10.5.3 stops at “configuring installation”


When I try to install 10.5.3 it restarts and then gets as far as "configuring installation" with the progress bar probably about 1/8" across and then it seems to stop. I let it go like that for probably 10 minutes and then aborted the install. Tried two more times with the same result.

Am I impatient or is there a problem?
