Problem Description: I am trying to set up a local development environment with the multi server version of ColdFusion in developer mode. When I trie to run the ColdFusion update 901 win64 updater, it starts and after the installanywhere progress bar, the installation disappears without any notification or prompts

Steps to Reproduce: Install WAMPServer 2.2D and then install ColdFusion Server 9 and point it to the apache instance in WAMPServer. After installation is complete, try to run the ColdFUsion_update_901_WWEJ_win64.exe file and after the installAnywhere progress bar is complete, the installer disappears with no notification of a crash or that anything went wrong.

Actual Result: installer starts but dies and gives no notification that a problem occurred

Expected Result: I need to update my local dev environment with the latest updater and patches in order to match our live server environment

Any Workarounds:Tried running it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 but same result. No workaround identified so far.
