Try disabling the internet connection while installing. This may very well be because of time-zone conflict if you're not in an area which follows UTC.

Windows assumes the hardware clock is giving your local time, whereas *nix systems assume it's giving the UTC time. So if you have internet on and you're not in the UTC zone, there will be a conflict between the current time of your selected zone (gotten from the internet) and the hardware clock.

Once you have successfully installed Ubuntu you'll most probably face another issue if you have automatic time update on. After switching between Windows and Ubuntu you'll find the system clock in at least one of the operating systems is off by ±(UTC - your local time).

You may consult this Q&A to fix this issue: Clock time is off on dual boot
