Hi,

I've just gone through the process of using the new installer and 
written up the following article:

http://www.catapultsolutions.net/resources/installing-plone-4-1-2-using-the-windows-installer.html

The main thing I think you're missing is the login info. The default 
username is "admin" and the password is also "admin" (no quotes).

I found this by looking into the buildout.cfg file.

HTH,
