To be honest, I'm not sure what to tell you. You haven't given us any details on your environment (OS, JDK, etc), so it's hard to say. I work on the Admin Console, and I can assure you it IS working correctly, as I use it all the time. Obviously, there's something falling apart, but, knowing what we know, which is nothing, really, it's impossible to tell.
Does a nightly build work? Is there another machine on which you can try the same installer? Is anyone else on your team having the same problem?
We DO have a QA team who takes a very careful look at each release. They're not going to catch everything, but they do a pretty good job of catching things we on the development team might miss. We would not ship a product, even a pre-release build like the promoted builds, with such a glaring bug.
If you could provide us with more details, we'll do our best to help, but please try not to be so rude and abusive. There's absolutely no need for that.
