Madden 2007 Installation Problems...

So far, this is the only newer game I've come across problems with.

First, while testing Upgrade capabilities, I noted Madden would play.
However, when it did, the fields were grey, and uprights were non-existent
during gameplay. I chalk that up to DirectX incompatibility, or perhaps an
upgrade issue...

So, I've gone through with both RC1 x86 and RC1 x64, and neither will allow
Madden to install. It will Autorun when the CD is inserted, however the OS
just refuses to run the installation application (whether I click on it on
the splash screen started by the autorun, or I click on the file itself on
the CD).

I've tried the Compatibility Wizard to no avail. I've tried running it as
Administrator with no luck as well.

Has anyone had issues like this, and if so, found a workaround? Needs to be
reported otherwise, but I'd rather know first that it's not an isolated
issue. I try to gather as much information as possible before submitting
things to MS.
