That must have been a dissapointment. Sorry.

Well, if Peter wants, I can share my experiences with him - to soften
his disappointment.

I came back after 20 minutes, it said "step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do
not switch off your computer".

I came back 30 minutes later - it said
"step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do not switch off your computer"

I came back 60 minutes after - it said
"step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do not switch off your computer"

......

I swithced off my computer and restarted. (safe mode)

The "installation" restarted, picked up the install where it had left
off, and "completed 100% successfully".

Then the installer undid everything - because it was not a happy install.

To add insult to injury - at the next boot up,I got "there are important
updates for your PC".

I hope this brings more happiness to you all.
