On Windows 8, if you find yourself running into this error:

"the installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console, and Silent"

Try this solution:

Uninstall any partially installed components that may have been installed.  Right click the install file and select 'properties' and 'compatibility'. Check 'run as administrator' and set 'windows 7 compatibility'.  Close the properties dialogue.  Then run the installer.

Here are some things you can try to fix upgrade and installation errors:
 
Remove external hardware. Unplug any nonessential hardware devices.
Update Windows.
Uninstall non-Microsoft antivirus software. 
Uninstall nonessential software. 
Free up disk space.
