Não é possível instalar programas no Windows 8

Question

Eu tenho vários programas instalados no win8 que quando tento instalar o executor do windows run e ele falha com algum erro estranho sobre não ser capaz de acessar C: \ WINDOWS \ Installer \ inprogressinstallinfo.ipi (excerto do log do instalador do windows abaixo)

alguma ideia de como corrigir isso?
