Answer 1

Was facing the same problem in windows 8 - 64 bit .. try doing this..

Go to C:/Users//AppData/Local . right click on the folder "Temp". Go to Properties. Go to Security Tab. Click on "Everyone" and "Edit" the permission to "full control"-> allow. Click apply.

try running the installer again. YOu should be good to go.

Run Command Prompt as Administrator. See Image

Change directory to location of .msi file using cd command and type the name of of your file with extension i.e. .msi (see image below). You may give the complete path of file instead of changing directories.
