The late XV105

Brand new Lenovo X1 i5 with SSD running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.
Love it! Beautifully built and so damned faaaaast.
Just one problem.
I take my DSLR on my frequent travels and so appreciate having Canon's excellent Digital Photo Professional (DPP) toolkit with me. The version supplied with my camera would not install though - even in XP compatibility mode - so as a workaround I downloaded and installed Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode; DPP then installed here just fine and works perfectly.
Last night though, I downloaded the W7 64bit compatible version of DPP to install directly in W7 but when I run the installation exe this is what happens
Double-click the .exe file
Pop-up dialogue appears
Select "run" option
Pop-up dialogue disappears..... and then nothing more happens
Repeating this on my XP SP3 PC with the same .exe file results in the installation menu correctly appearing (before I then cancel it as I don't need the software here)
What utility or association is missing on my W7 laptop, please?
The Canon .exe file appears to be "Update Wrapper(Win)" but Google didn't help me find a solution on this occasion.
