Windows 8 is a tough OS, but it may run via Compatibility mode. May want to try turning off User Account Control as well.

IMHO I would go to Windows 7 on the machine so long as there is driver support. If you have Windows 8 Pro, it's free, if you have the basic one, its $100 for a "downgrade" license which is really an upgrade license.

If you right click the setup exe and go to the compatibility tab you can set it to Windows 7 and retry the installer. I would disable any AV/security software you have temporarily for the install as well if it is blocking any of the processes.

There is a pattern:
Windows 3.1 - great
Windows 95 - bad
Windows 98 - great
Windows Me - bad
Windows XP - great
Windows Vista - bad
Windows 7 - great
Windows 8..........take a wild guess lol

Post up how you make out.

Delete the directory it is trying to install into and then reboot and install.

Did it launch once you closed out of the error message and tried to load it from the Start Menu/Desktop Icon?

Remove any antivirus software as it is interfering with the executable. Then reinstall Smanager.

i tried installing it on a windows 8 AMD processor laptop before and it failed. Apparently only Intel processors are supported. Make sure your laptop has an intel processor.

You must still have internet protection or antivirus software running.
