Topic on User talk:Macgovern
I don't have anything to cite, this is original research and testing. The installer runs on a clean 64-bit VM of Windows XP. The installer does not not run on a clean 32-bit VM of Windows 7. Therefore, it is clear this issue isn't one of 64-bit Windows. I am also the creator of the Ubi Soft Installer Fix linked in that section; the issue is one of different exception handling on later versions of Windows (it's inconsistent whether it breaks the installer or not, but it does most of the time).
