Installation log

Looks like a lot of NPE's in the log.

Second attempt this time without uncheking the Apache server as I don't want that one installed.

I've looked at this, and it seems somewhere there is a call to Progress.setDetail with a null value, this means that this.detail get's set to null and the NEXT call will fail as the check is "this.detail.equals" without checking that "this.detail" is not null.
The simplest fix is imho to add the lines;
"  if (this.detail == null) {
      this.detail=StringUtils.EMPTY_STRING;
   }"
as the first lines in Progress.setDetail.
There are a few other ways too.

The cause of the above seems to be a missing bundle, excerpt from the log;

A better description

I see "Insufficient disk space for extracting the installation data".

Can that be the cause?

Probable not as the drive in question has about 800 Gig of free space.

I've been thinking, now, I don't know where that diskspace message originates from so i haven't checked for this, could this be caused by the fact that there are too much diskspace free? I mean, the check itself get's confused because of an overflow making the diskspace look negative (or simply needs an alternate way to check for free space)?
