Power4Gear install problem on U31JG running Windows 7 64-bit

I've been trying to install the latest version of Power4Gear on my U31JG-RX122V running a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, but the installer hangs on the empty command line window that opens during the install. The command line window is opened by the following file:



C:Program FilesP4GP4GUpdate.GadgetP4GUpdateInstaller_x64.exe



Pressing ctrl+c or closing the cmd window aborts the installation of the entire program. I've tried leaving it running for about an hour without results. Does anyone know what is causing this and how it can be fixed?



My U31JG has the following hardware specifications:

Intel Core i5 480M / 2.66 GHz

Mobile Intel HM55 Express

Intel HD Graphics

NVIDIA GeForce GT 415M



Software specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit w/ service pack 1

Intel HD Graphics driver 8.15.10.2302

nVidia GeForce driver 267.76



Power4Gear version I'm trying to install: V1.1.41



The reason I want to install P4G is specifically for the ability to control the activation of the dedicated nVidia graphics card, this for battery saving purposes. Currently, with all drivers installed and up to date, it seems to either automatically change between the integrated Intel and the dedicated nVidia graphics card without any kind of feedback, or simply not change at all and constantly run on the dedicated nVidia card. If anyone knows of a good way to achieve this control without P4G then do tell.



Thanks

You have to install the ATK utility first. I had the same problem after a clean install of Windows.
