config step of install fails unless tcp/ip networking is enabled

[Daniel P]

I was doing a fresh install on Windows 7 using the Windows installer.

When I didn't choose to enable tcp/ip networking the configuration step failed:

I think it assumes you have networking checked without looking to see. Is this a known issue? It should be easy for others to replicate.
