OK, this issue has been fixed. It has nothing to do with database (we are not using MySQL anyway). We are using IIS URL Rewrite, the max-upload-limit set by IIS Request Filtering rule is not large enough to allow complete file upload. By setting it to a much higher value, the installation process completed without issue.
