I downloaded the recommended mysql-installer-community-5.6.12.0.msi for windows 7 64 bit os from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. But when I double click it to install it, a popup comes stating preparing to install and goes away. Nothing gets installed and also do not see any logs(looked in to directories C:\Program Files\, C:\ProgramData) and any error message.

What is the issue? Any help would be appreciated.
