Ok, during installation I'm getting the following:

Summary: 3 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:13

Hub Transport Role
Failed

Error:
Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to start. Check the event log for possible reasons for the service start failure.

Elapsed Time: 00:00:12

Client Access Role
Cancelled

Mailbox Role
Cancelled

Looking through the error log, the only error I'm seeing pop up consistently is this one with no other indications of issues, except this one:

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    MSExchangeTransport
Event Category:    TransportService
Event ID:    12008

Description:
Microsoft Exchange couldn't read the Receive connector configuration. The service will be stopped.

So yeah, since Exchange hasn't been completely installed, there is no receive connector configuration. If I try to run the MSExchangeTransport service, it'll automatically terminate as expected (since it only runs when there is a task to do).

Any ideas on how to force the setup to move past this step?
