Unable to install Plone 5.2.0 on Windows 10

[smcmahon]

From community.plone.org

I have tried to install the new stable version of Plone 5.2.0 under Windows 10, in the following situations: -installation with the options password, instance and target -installation by default with only password option. In any case the installation can not succeed. The process is interrupted with error messages. I attach you below the example of the second choice: installation by default. Does anyone have an idea of what I miss? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue.

You can work around the installer problem by commenting out lines 100-110 in helper_scripts\windows_install.py. However, this will just reveal another problem that isn't installer related. I'm investigating that and will report back.
