I have splunk server 6.1.1 installed on Drive D and i upgraded it to 6.2 on windows2008R2. During istallation it did not ask me the path of installation and installed it on drive D as my previous installation was on same drive
Issue1:- It took almost 60 minutes to get the installation completed, however the installation was successful. why so much time?
Issue2: This is the main concern. when I try to open the UI it gives me error.

Could some one please let me the solution to fix it.
It seems Python 2.7.8 broke splunk. You can use lib/python2.7/ntpath.py (python 2.7.5) that comes with splunk 6.1.X as a workaround.
See Martin's post http://answers.splunk.com/answers/177866/why-am-i-getting-splunk-enterprise-setup-wizard-en.html. I guess 'wait' is the answer for a patch according to that post.
same problem here trying to install 6.2 over 6.1
