Our QA tried to reproduce the problem on multiple different environments & settings per your description - but were unsuccessful.

While we don’t know what the exact problem is we suspect that reinstalling the wizard or Office would be the easiest options to clear any damaged files. Also on Microsoft’s support page its mentioned that corrupted registry can cause a similar issue, so re-installing Office or the wizard should be the first thing to try.

Hope this helps,
Gil
