Only two other ideas ...

Do you have any funky ISDN cards installed on the system? A few years back, we were made aware of an ISDN card, primarily used in Europe, that had a driver that somehow prevented the PostScript Windows driver installer from properly running (although I believe it got farther than your system did in executing). When that ISDN card's driver was uninstalled, the PostScript driver installer ran fine. The user then needed to reinstall the ISDN card driver after creating the PostScript printer driver instances. That is the only situation we were aware in which the installer failed to run. (Note that the installer is not Adobe's -- it is a standard 16-bit InstallShield installer, compatible with Windows'9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003 -- not particularly "modern" but not known to be generically defective in any way.

Only other thing? Do you have mapped network drives, especially big ones and/or ones on slow links? If you do, try unmapping them and then running the driver installer. The installer sometimes goes looking on all mapped volumes for somethings (what, I don't know)!

Let us know what you find, if anything, that might match the above.
