I couldn't duplicate this on Windows 7 Pro with the same Wininet 
version.  If it stops with last status code of 301, that suggests that: 
a) the redirect is timing out; or more likely b) it's baulking on the 
BitBucket certificate for some reason.  Perhaps there is some difference 
in Home Server configuration responsible, though I don't know offhand 
what it might be.

So, I've reversed my previous reversal from that earlier thread and 
adjusted the AtomicParsley download URL to avoid redirects.  Re-run the 
latest installer and it should download the new configuration with the 
updated URL.

To the person who suggested a while back that we should abandon the 
installer and distribute a VirtualBox appliance instead:  I think I'm 
beginning to warm to the idea :}
