Just a follow up to this thread. I was finally able to get it installed, but only after uninstalling AVG and Malwarebytes completely. Simply disabling their protection did not fix the issue. One I uninstalled them and re-booted, the XAMPP installer gave me a warning message during the installation that my current UAC settings may interfere with the installation. I was not getting this message before, the installation would simply would hang and do nothing. So I disable UAC completely and rebooted, then was finally able to install XAMPP. Afterwards I reinstalled AVG and Malwarebytes. So far everything seems to be working correctly.
