I can confirm also that it works on Windows XP and Windows 7 64bit pro. Thank you so much for working on this problem and fixing the issue.

 I wonder if Henry was referring to the fact that with the new client, no console output from install scripts is shown, so it isn't possible for the user to see any progress. Is adding back the console output, or some sort of "Throbber"[1] (a gui element that shows the user that the install is in progress) on the todo list?

I like how the Ubuntu software installer does this, you get a progress bar with the option to show the console output if you want. I realize that doing a progress bar for user generated install scripts isn't really possible, but something that just shows the user that an install is taking place, and gives them the option to view the console output would be useful.
