Success at last!
After several re-installs I was finally able to log into the admin panel,
the only thing I did different on this last try was to turn off the "Check for updates" when logging into the admin panel.
That may have been the issue however it may have been a corrupt install package (several corrupt install packages actually)
At some point I'll turn the check for updates back on and see if that was the cause however at this point I don't want to risk it, I've spent over 12 hours screwing with this now...
Thanks again Rob for trying to help.
