My apologies....I should have noted that I am using Win7....
When I clicked on the "exe" file it would started the cmd interface. And then when I pressed 1 or 2 to attempt the install as instructed, the screen would "flash" and nothing, it would just disappear. I tried the install four times, twice each pressing 1 and then 2.
So my first thought after this experience was to check the properties as I have seen this sort of thing happen before with other installers. Once the properties were set as I mentioned, presto, the cmd interface appeared, I selected 1 and the install continued as it should.
