Solution

We had the same issue...

try running this: 

psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force

OTHER TIPS

You have to analyze the log file starting with 'Upgrade' on the [ERROR] text. Does these messages make sense to you (your environment)?

Our experience here is that trying to do SharePoint 2010 on Win7, while technically possible is more or less a minefield where things like this pop up all the time. Rather than spend even more time troubleshooting the Win7 option we ended up just putting SharePoint 2010 on virtual machines running Windows Server and have had excellent results with that.

I realize that this doesn't really help you solve your problem now but it might be something to consider in the future.
