I just verified that my system was clean (no uninstalled debris lying
around) and did a fresh default install of 1.5.1 on Win2k3. It works
entirely as expected.

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but I suspect that if a default
click through install doesn't work for you then the answer will lie in
the way you have configured Win2K3.

FWIW, my test was on a basic installation of Win2k3 with no customisation,
apart from specifying an ip address and a dns server.
