I recently got a new laptop and it came with windows 8, I am trying to install maya 2015 and all it does is get stuck on the initialization screen. It never gets past this and it kind of upsets me. I tried older versions and same thing. I don't know what else to do.

Thank you. I realized I had a virus that was preventing any program to install, but I got a anti virus and now it works.
