CW 5.1 for S12 refusing to install in Win7x64

Weird installation problem: I am trying to install CW Standard 5.1 for S12 on a Windows 7 SP1 fully updated x64 system. The installer unpacks the installation files and starts normally. However, when I get to the window that lets me select the installation drive, two drives are shown: c, the system drive and d (cd-rom). The weird part is that c is not selectable. Only d is which, of course, has no free space. No matter what I try, the c drive remains unselectable. The cursor ignores it.

 

All other software installs fine, no problems with creating directories, access rights etc.

 

Any ideas what is going on?

 

One thing I should note is that I am running AHCI in the bios but even if I disable it back to regular IDE I still get the same problem.

OK, I jumped the gun. It turns out CW was already installed on the system but was nowhere to be seen.

 

No wonder the installation didn't allow me to reinstall it on top of an existing installation!
