Error installing Reactive Extensions: Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements

Today I was trying to install Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) on my Virtual Machine and got this error:
Please wait while the installer finishes determining you disk space requirements.
Searching a bit I found solutions for similar situations with MSI installers, the workaround is using command line and msiexec (http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/harold/archive/2009/01/14/windows-installer-doesn-t-finish-determining-disk-space-requirements.aspx).
Since in this case it is a .exe my solution was to run it from Windows PowerShell and it worked.
Here is a sample:
powershell C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Rx_Net35_SP1.exe
Hope this helps.
