Yes, I tried two different methods, the download was 100Mb+ (rather than 2GB) and the install went smoothly. In both cases it gets stuck at this license stage.

I even tried the command line installer (and boy is that hard work) but I couldn't get it to accept the --programmer command.

I suspect there is a bug somewhere. I guess I could try the programmer only download on another XP machine in cas eit is the PC for some reason, but this is all soaking up a lot of time for what should be a simple job..
