web installer has stopped working

Question

I have just downloaded and installed web platform installer on Windows 7 machine, and was trying to install Orchard CMS through it. It downloads the CMS from the internet, but when starting the installation it halts with the Windows error message "Web platform installer has stopped working". This is the text file I found in logs/webpi:

I appreciate your help and suggestions

Answer 1
