Same on my system. It happend while loading the cargo version, update 1.0.1 had already been installed. A retry with exactly the same settings has been successfull.
Maybe the Event Log entry regarding to the CTD may be helpful:

Let me know if I can do anything to support further error analysis (e. g. provide a crash dump) or do you receive WER crash dumps from microsoft anyway?
