I fixed this issue by choosing Custom Install after accepting the license agreement, then disabling the Run item (third in the list). I have disabled the "Settings" option. It could be something with your users folder and folder permissions in a non-standard location, since I currently have my users folder hosted on a volume that is NOT a boot volume.
