Problem with Daemon tools x64

As title i'm having problems with daemon tools version 4 x64 edition, upon installation it asks for the restart, then after which the installation restarts and asks for another restart.
it then does this repeatedly.

anyone got any ideas as to why its doing this and is there a way to fix it?

Its doing it to me on XP 64bit, and with alcohol as well. Is there anyway to extract a mdf file without mounting it?

cheers BlizzardX i've got it past the original error, though it give a createfile error half way through the install now

.

going to try alcohol now to see if that works with the updated driver

This is for anyone else having the same problem, i.e daemon tools installation stopping with the Failed calling CreateFile; GetLastError = 32

The solution i have found is as follows

Run regedit and delete these registry keys before trying to install:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SPTD
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\sptd

In order to delete the above keys it maybe necessary to change the permissions (right click->permissions->everyone and set full control).
It may also be necessary to delete:

%WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sptd.sys

Once the keys and file have been deleted reboot.
Deamon tools will now install correctly
