Hello François,
Try the installation from http://root.bnl.gov
It will set any Windows environment properly for any directory and any
Windows platform (I hope, Let me know if there is still any problem).
No extra user effort is required, just click there and reply some usual
questions. ("Program Files" should be fine as well)
To avoid the clash with other ROOT installation, please remove it first.
Or make sure your PATH and/or autoexec.bat don't contain the old ROOT
directory.
My best regards, Valeri
