I downloaded install-tl-windows.exe this morning (after a fixed version was posted yesterday) and ran it it to install TeX Live in a virtual machine running Windows 10 on my Mac. The install looked to be going fine, but failed near, what I think was the end. Here are the last few lines of the install log:

Installing [3603/3603, time/total: 46:03/46:03]: zxjatype [142k]

The line:

appears after every one of the 3603 items is installed. If helpful, the entire log file can be found here:

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!
