Bluestacks cant install on my vaio windows 8 computer,why?

Hi Leonard,

I see that this is your first post in this community, welcome to the Microsoft Community forum.

What happens when you try to install the application? Do you get an error?

If you are referring to the Bluestacks app player, it is compatible with Windows 8. You can check the compatibility information here:

If you are unable to install this application, it could be due to some incorrect settings. I would suggest you to run this fix it which checks and resolves issues in installing software:

I would suggest you to try installing the application in safe mode and check. Refer to this article:

Note: First select Detects problems and Apply the fixes for me and then select installing when it gives you a pop up. Now select the application you want to install from the list and install it. 

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to install it in safe mode and check.You can find more information about safe mode and how to boot the computer in safe mode in this article:
