Hmm. Your setup is the same as mine except that all the hosts I've
tested on are 32-bit installs. Interesting.

Unfortunately our friends at Microsoft don't let you simply re-install a
64-bit version, you have to go and buy the OS all over again at absurd
retail prices. I don't have an MSDN subscription at work. So I can't
personally test with x64 versions.

That's certainly something to start looking at, though. I'm sure that if
it was as simple as "the installer is broken on x64" it would've turned
up by now, but perhaps there's something else that only causes a problem
when installs are run on x64 hosts. Something to do with pathname
rewriting - Program Files (x86) for example?
