Okay, urk, this is probably bug 632465, which we hoped to get sorted
out before the release but didn't have any evidence it was actually
breaking anything.

If before running the installer you download and install the Microsoft
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package does Bazaar then work?

Hopefully that will do for a workaround for now, until we can sort the
underlying issue out.
