Trying to install ESB 3.4 on Windows 7

[lasper]

I'm trying to install ESB 3.4 by running fuse-esb-3.4.0.4-windows.exe on Windows 7 (32 bit).  I see the IntallAnywhere splash screen count down to 100% in a few seconds.  Then it disappears...and that's it.  Nothing gets installed as far as I can tell.  Setting compatibilty mode to Windows XP SP2 didn't help.  Neither did selecting the "run as an administrator" option.  What am I missing?

Being unable to install ESB 3.4 I tried installing ESB 4.2 instead.  That worked much better.  I was able to fire it up, load the cxf-osgi example, and work through the payments-api video tutorial.  It didn't go without a hitch though.  I ran into the karaf user can't log in to WebConsole problem (http://fusesource.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1619) and the osgix:property-placeholder problem .  Thanks to the folks who posted those questions and to those who answered them.

L.S.,

I don't have a Windows 7 installation at hand to test this, but when I did install ServiceMix on Windows before, I usually just downloaded the ZIP archive from http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2/org/apache/servicemix/apache-servicemix/3.4.0.4-fuse/ and extracted that on the local hard drive of the Windows box. 

Because it's so easy to install FUSE ESB this way, I don't even think the .exe installer still exists in the latest versions (like e.g. 4.2.0-fuse-01-00).
