I am trying to install Thunderbird on a brand-new HP Envy laptop. The progress bar is stuck at "Create Shortcut [folder location]". I have rebooted and re-downloaded the installation executable file. No luck. It still hangs at the same point.

I am guessing. But it sounds like a uac issue with Windows. Try doing the install with administrator privileges.
