Splunk Enterprise Security

Why is the "Continue to app setup page" button in the Splunk App for Enterprise Security setup not working?

I am trying to install Enterprise Security Installer to install ES. When I click the "Continue to app setup page" button, I see the following:

500 Internal Server Error

Seems like some lookup tables are missing. However, I thought the installer was supposed to install all needed lookup tables? How can I fix this?

This wouldn't happen to be Splunk 6.1.x? Recent versions of ES require Splunk 6.2.3+.

Is this an Upgrade? Or a clean install? On Windows?
