Hi Kasra,

1. Which software were you trying to install?

2. Does the issue persist while installing a particular software?

I understand the frustration when things don't work as expected.

You can check the compatibility of any software and hardware from the link mentioned below:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home

The issue would have occurred if the software is not compatible with Windows 8, as rightly pointed by you.

Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

If you need any further assistance with Windows Operating System, please post your query on Microsoft Community Forums and we’ll be glad to assist you with it.
