I am having the same problems, I am using Windows 7 64bit, so I downloaded the 64bit MSE version. When I tried to run it, it said mseinstall.exe is not a valid win32 application. I then downloaded the MSE 32 bit just in case, and it tells me to download the 64bit version when I try to run it…

arghh!
