Issues with installer for 64-bit 11gR2 on windows 7 64-bit

Just wondering if anyone has successfully installed 11gR2 64-bit on windows 7 
64-bit (ent edition of win7)?  If not, has anyone seen/solved symptoms like 
these:

With various permutations of install options, response-file based silent or UI 
interactive installs, the setup consistently crashes out (literally, the binary 
simply terminates).  This is usually happening at the end of the prerequisite 
check phase (so all the values for sid, service, storage, passwords etc. are 
done), just before the summary screen should appear and the install actually 
starts.

The oraInstall<datestamp>.out and .err files are always zero bytes in size, and the 
tail of the installActions<datestamp>.log file usually looks something like this:

INFO: Verification Result for Node:<my hostname here>
INFO: Expected Value:64-bit
INFO: Actual Value:64-bit
INFO: -----------------------------------------------
INFO: *********************************************
INFO: Environment variable: "PATH": This test checks whether the length of the 
environment variable "PATH" does not exceed the recommended length.
INFO: Severity:CRITICAL
INFO: OverallStatus:SUCCESSFUL
INFO: -----------------------------------------------
INFO: Verification Result for Node:<my hostname here>
INFO: Expected Value:1023

INFO: Using default Validator configured in the Action class 
oracle.install.ivw.db.action.PrereqAction
INFO: Completed validating state <performChecks>
INFO: Verifying route success
INFO: Get view named [SummaryUI]

And that's all the diagnostic info I can find.  Nothing in the windows event logs, UAC 
has been disabled (and I've tried running setup attempts explicitly as "Run as 
Administrator" with no luck).   I checked metalink/mos, but there's no detail I can 
find there.  Before I bother opening an SR, I thought I'd ask here ... this is just one 
of my test notebooks, so it's not critical ... just really annoying.

Ciao
