MVC 4 installation failure

Question

I am attempting to install MVC 4 to my desktop. I am the only person in the office whop is having this problem even though we all have the same machines with the same software. I'm not sure what the problem is. The installation prints a log file but I don't know what any of it means. If anyone has an answer I would appreciate it. Here is the log file:

Answer 1

The WebPI could suck sometimes (for me always).

I'd recommend you to download and install the MSI yourself:

• ASP.NET MVC 4 for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Visual Web Developer 2010 SP1

Make sure that you have installed SP1 for VS2010 before though.

Answer 2

After waiting more than 10 minutes for step 2 to complete, I decided to do a google search. For "asp.net mvc 4 installer" google suggested "asp.net mvc 4 installer hangs". While I was reading this thread, the installer continued to step 3. So I am suggesting to wait about half an hour.
