may not be the most fun way to spend a Monday evening. However, help is on the way. I was able to resolve it by fixing the path for environment variable psmodulepath to this
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server\PowershellModules;C:\Program Files\Service Bus\1.0\
and it worked.
The installation for both hosting and caching modulde was completed successfully. Detailed failure log below.
