Hello,
I am having issues installing Unity on a new machine I built for learning Unity and doing video editing.

Hello - I sort of figured it out eventually - I had system mechanic installed.
But what is more of a detail is that Iolo uses Kaspersky AntiVirus under another name - sort of re-branded it. Apparently after several hours of debugging and searching (like 25-30 hours or so) I figured out the error was related to Kaspersky Antivirus.

I uninstalled System Mechanic and the install completed.

The Blue Screen I was getting was Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap.
Please if you are having issues, try uninstalling the program and use a different antivirus or install it afterwards. I am using SpyHunter instead for resolving the issues of having an antivirus program (it is an antispyware/anti-malware) for the meantime until Iolo issues a fix for the problem. I hope this helps some other people out in getting setup with Unity!

Thanks
Andy
