Hi Gary,
Thank you very much for responding.
One of the first problems I noticed with the PSI was that if the Apache server was running already, the installer would fail quite soon into the install. That means everytime I run the installer, I manually kill the left over Apache server from the last attempt.
That being said, the last time I ran it, watching the log file via baretail, the Apache server started up ok, and I was able to verify it was up using my browser before the error messages occured. Also, the VM I am trying to install on is a brand new VM, and there are no other Apache or IIS servers running on it. (I checked on Services just to be sure)
I'm open to other suggestions. 
Thanks agan,
Steve
