Bug Description
Downloaded the Windows Installer and ran it. My machine is a 64bit Windows 7 Pro installation. Once the Windows Installer is started, the cursor spins and the Not Responding message appears in the window title line.
I notices that every time I started the Windows Installer, the 32bit 7Zip Console process started up. I have the 64 bit 7Zip program installed on my machine. When I killed the hung Windows Installer, the 32 bit 7Zip process kept running. I killed all the 32 bit 7Zip processes and restarted the Windows Installer at which time another 32 bit 7zip Console process started up. When I killed that 32 bit 7zip process, the Windows Installer started running, apparently running the install correctly. However, when I restarted the computer, it went directly to Ubuntu without giving me the option of which system to boot. When I restarted the boot option was presented and I was able to start Windows. But, I then found that I had file system errors. Chkdsk found errors and corrected them. After these errors were corrected, I could no longer start Ubuntu. The boot process said that the system was not installed.
I repeated this entire process at least 3 times with the same errors.
