VMWare Tools installation frozen on first boot

I installed Windows 7 using Boot Camp and then installed Fusion and attempted to create a new virtual machine using the Boot Camp disk.  The VM started up and I logged into Windows.  It immediately starts installing VMWare Tools without loading the desktop.  It has now been stuck on "Installing VMXNet3 driver" for about an hour.  So now I have no idea what state the system is in.  Is my Windows 7 installation corrupted now?  Even if it isn't, I have no idea how to get Fusion working if I can't even get to the desktop.

I am using the free trial so I can't even contact support.
