Trouble Installing 7.7 with Win 2003 SP1

I'm wondering if anybody else has encountered this problem and found a solution:

Environment: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, SP1 + latest security patches, IBM 336 w/ 72GB SCSI, 4GB RAM.

Installed Orion 7.7 along with the MSDE SQL server without a problem. I try and launch the configuration wizard and ... nothing. Starting task manager I see that NetPerfMon-Wizard.exe starts up, times out, then dies. I also see a drwtsn32.exe process kick off slightly after starting the wizard.

Reviewing the DrWatson log reveals an 'application exception' in NetPerfMon-Wizard.exe.

I have un-installed and re-installed several times with the same results.

I have also sent an e-mail to support.

Thanks
