When I try to install the beta it crashes after 5-10 seconds with "Blizzard Installer has stopped working". I've redownloaded via two different mirrors but get the exact same problem.

Full crash details (though I can't see anything useful in it):

I can't find any reference to others having similar problems. Any ideas?

Sorry for the double post, should probably mention that this is Vista Business 32-bit, I tried forcing permissions on all relevant (source) folders and files but that didn't help. UAC is disabled.

I can't really add anything other than the standard right-click and do 'run as administrator' and make sure it's not saved in your program files directory.

Yeah, tried Run as Admin (I'm on a true Admin account anyway) and moving the files around but no luck Thanks for the ideas anyway :) .

Just a note in case someone ends up here from searching, I resolved this by installing in Safe Mode.

I would've never thought of that...
