I fixed it and here is what I did (to make it work):
1) Googled for hidden setup options.
2) Found out about F7
3) Used it, in the manner F6 and F5 are used.
4) Chose to install
5) Noticed Windows offered to repair itself.
6) Commanded it to do so.
7) Rebooted
8) Rejoiced
If it worked because I used other install media and repaired broken files, or just
bypassed the ACPI altogether, I do not now. I suggest trying different install media
if the F7-thing doesn't work.
