Microsoft Previews Beta Version of CRM "Needs Assessment Wizard"

I downloaded this new tool from Microsoft which sounded like it would make the transition from design to implementation for Microsoft CRM a breeze.
Microsoft released a beta version (preview) of a Microsoft CRM Assessement Wizard / Tool. This interview-style tool helps guide you through the planning and envisioning phases of Microsoft CRM system deployment. Upon completion of this interview, you will be provided a CRM Strategy Assessment document for your organization and a Microsoft CRM configuration file that can be used to import customizations into your CRM server. >> Learn more and see screenshots of the CRM Needs Assessment tool...
However, as I've come to expect from most things in MS CRM, it wasn't smooth sailing. I'm still yet to get the product to start.

I was confrunted with the error :-
"Strong name validatoin failed for assembly 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM Assessment Survey\Microsoft CRM Assessment Survey Wizard.exe'. The file may have been tampered with or it was paritially signed but not fully signed with the correct private key."

Looks like it's back to the drawing board.

There is a bit of a discussion on Google about the issue.

Anyone got the Microsoft CRM Assessment Survey Wizard to install?
