Were you installing over a preexisting installation? Did you remove the .com.zerog.registry file from the uninstaller directory or from the main zerog path in program files? I found that the one in the uninstaller directory was getting out of control when I installed my product on top of itself multiple times and running out of memory and freezing. I had to write a little sanitizer that deleted duplicate entries.
