Can't Install Suite 8

I just bought Ableton Suite 8. I went to install on Windows 7 64 Bit (all the latest Windows updates Sp1) and I get "These files can't be opened" - "Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.". I have uninstalled my virus software, and I have tried running the app as administrator. I also turned off internet security in Internet Explorer.

I think "She Luser" is right with the suggestion to download all files first. Live usually works perfect on 64 Bit systems. Windows 7 64 bit is collecting all 32 bit programs in a special 32 bit programs folder.

Thanks guys. False alarm.
It wasn't a problem with Ableton. What happened was this
-AVG told me I had a dodgy registry entry and recommended that I delete it
-AVG couldn't delete it, so I did
-Then the error started coming up all over the place on all installers including Ableton
-It turns out with the above registry entry Windows won't install anything
-So I created a new user profile and now I can work again.
Basically, my old user profile is now corrupt.
But I would like to resurrect my profile. Anybody got any ideas?
