Can not get PowerChute 3.0 to install on Windows Vista x86 - it hangs at the "select directory" screen, you can pick "next" but it doesn't move on from there. Have tried install with AV and firewall off (Norton). I am on the administrator account. At one point, it was actually creating directories.

When the UPS was plugged in, Windows installed drivers for "APC Battery BackUP"/Version 1.0 under Computer+Bateries and "American Power Conversion USB UPS" / Version 6.1.6002.18005 under Computer+Human Interface Devices. Have tried to install PowerChute with these drivers installed and enable and with these drivers uninstalled. PowerChute install fails either way.

I've seen other users with the same issue, has anyone made it past the "select directory" failure?
