I found a thread in the troubleshooting section that indicated some issues with the newer drivers for the Nvidia 550TI. I had not mentioned earlier that the installer was giving me an error on the graphics card on previous installations. Downgrading the drivers to the 296.10 version allowed the installation to finish, error free. I then double checked every mod to ensure proper installation and am now sailing in modded magnificence.

Thanks Sober, your succinct directions got me thinking correctly toward the resolution of the issue.
