Registered to confirm that this worked on my Windows 7 x64,- I disabled signed
driver enforcement by slamming the F2 then F8 key on boot-up.

While resolved now, the whole experience of allowing the option to install
a driver that essentially locks me out of a workstation is nuts.

I was lucky to have access to a second computer with which I could search 
online for a solution.

For Wireshark QA purposes, I would have preferred not to have the option to
install this driver at all knowing what the consequences are.
