That happened to me as well.  I tried a couple of times and received the same error message.  I then restarted the server, logged back in and tried it again.  I don't remember if I stopped the LS Service before doing that or not, but when I ran the installation again, it completed fine.

The same problem from 10.6.1.6 to version 11
