[Paraview] win7 64bit install exe error crash immediately

[Cory Quammen]

Thanks for trying with the -dr option. Grrr, Windows error messages
are not terribly helpful.

We do test ParaView nightly on Windows 7 64-bit and it runs fine. Does
any version of ParaView run on the system in question? Do you have
another Windows 7 machine on which to try it?

Another wild guess - you may have to temporarily disable anti-virus
software when installing 5.2.

Right-click on this shortcut and append to the Target: field the argument "-dr". Double-click the shortcut to launch ParaView.
