SQL server 2019 CTP (and 2017 DEV) installation hangs.

On Windows 10 Pro x64.
System had a SQL server (2016?) instance running before, de-install didn't work, removed manually.
Installation of 2017 DEV edition hangs, 2019 CTP also.
Downloaded SQLServer2019-x64-ENU.exe yesterday from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2019
Turned firewall off.
Ran SQLServer2019-x64-ENU.exe as administrator.

First attempt hangs, cancel doesn't work, Task manager is blocked, rebooted.

The log ends with ever growing repetition of (in all attempts):
