The first thing to check is the config tool log. Digging into the log reveals,
[SRC_CLASS: com.hyperion.hit.wizard.Wizard] trace: Unexpected error:[[

NOTE: The registry-cleanup utility has a high probability of corrupting your environment. Take a database backup of your Shared Services/Foundation schema before starting and be prepared to take downtime to restore the schema if required.
