It is possible to select Try rather than Install on the Live CD, then open a Ctrl-Alt-T window and invoke the following before starting the installation process via the icon on the trial desktop:
sudo rmmod mei_me
sudo rmmod mei

After installation has completed, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mei.conf may be created as a workaround with these contents (then reboot):
blacklist mei_me
blacklist mei
