I've just seen a Stack Overflow report related to this that might be of interest. The user reports that the installer fails with:
" The environment variable COMPSPEC does not seem to point to the cmd.exe or there is a trailing semi colon present." This appears to be a new message and they're using 9.2, so I'm guessing this was the test added. It doesn't appear to actually *mention the value of the COMSPEC environment variable* though. I've asked them for the installer log, but it'd be good to identify this in the message if possible.
