Can't install.

Haven't been able to install these drivers on Windows 7 RC1. Both Alpha and Beta drivers return the same error:

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

Obviously, running the debug tool is useless as nothing is installed, but I ran it anyway. And the debugtool confirms it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "debug_tool_gui.py", line 271, in ?
File "debug_tool_gui.py", line 217, in __init__
File "logpcinfo.pyo", line 24, in __init__
File "displayservice.pyo", line 13, in __init__
File "displayservice.pyo", line 21, in getService
Exception: Service Not Found

Although Windows System restore does show a couple of restore points that list "Installed DisplayLinkCore Software" and "Installed DisplayLinkCore Graphics" but there is no entry that can be uninstalled in the program manager.

Any ideas?
Is there something else I should provide you guys with?
Or should I just wait until Microsoft starts shipping out the retail version and try again then?
