Installing DB2 10.1 Windows 7 64bit 'hangs' at DAS

Hi all,

This is going to be a strange one, but please be assured this is no Holloween joke!

I have two MacBook Pro's.  They both have Mavericks 10.9, Fusion 6.0.1, and 16G of RAM. The first MacBook Pro is Early 2011, the second is Late 2013.  I also have a single VMware image that is Windows 7 64bit allocated with 2 cores and 3G of RAM.  Accelerated 3D graphics is 'Off'.

When I install DB2 ESE 10.1 on the Early 2011, all is good.

However, when I try the same install on the same VMware image (copied over, of course) on the Late 2013 MacBook Pro, the installer 'hangs' when installing DB2 Administration Server (DAS).  Just hangs.  Nothing in the logs.

I've 'upgraded' to Hardware version 10.

What in the world could prevent DB2 from installing in this VMware image on the Late 2013 MacBook Pro?

Thanks!

Robert
