Have you looked at the error log file:

<Windchill_HOME>/installer/logs/xxxx_WindchillLoader_error.log

One possibility is the method server not starting. See reference PTC KB:

Is there a typo here? Why are we using 12.1.2 with an 11.1 schema? Can you confirm you are doing a base new install of Windchill 12.1.2? If so, I typically do installs against an empty database, no schema, just a user account. The PSI can build the schema that is aligned to the Windchill version. It should have no tables or views present when you start the install.
