As requested starting a separate thread as i just cant get around this issue.
I have previously installed MC15 and 16 on this computer and it worked flawlessly.
For MC17 it immediately hangs once clicked to express install. I eventually have to kill the process in task mgr.
I have rebooted PC several times, ran install exe as administrator but to no avail. I have administrator rights so dont think it is a UAC issue. I have also run a registry cleaner on OS to check for corruption but was ok
