Trouble installing 3.4.a

I am doing a fresh install of Community 3.4.a on a Windows Server 2003 R2 system. I goes almost to completion but gets the following error when it tries to launch the MySQL service:

The instruction at "0x006b8853" referenced memory at "0x00c20000". The memory could not be "read".

The installation then exits with errors. If I try and go in and start the service manually I get the same error message.

Any idea what has gone wrong?

Here is an update. I did an install on a Windows XP system and everything worked correctly. Maybe it has something to do with MySQL running as a service under version 3.4. I checked exceptions and added mysqld.exe and port number 3306 but still no go. May have something to do with security under Windows Server 2003.

Thoughts anyone?

Installed version 3.4.b and now everything seems to be working.
