Installation & Licensing

[#1]

trying to put this in like 14 times, during install a window called"windows installer" pops up, with a really long list of coding or something, and it stops. my computer is brand new,  "samsung, amd quad-core a10-4600m apu 2.30Ghz, 8 gig ram, 750 gig hdd, 64 bit, windows 8, "windows experience index" gives this a 5.9. my old computer was a 3.6 but at least it works. I need this running yesterday! anyone what do i do, i tried to call, but they have no support for some reason?, when i called licensing they said try to put the software from my old computer to the new one on a flash, but of course it didnt work and now i have no software to finish my homework,  here is what it says...............

[#5]

well isnt that nice, only spoke to 10 different people on the phone, and sent a support ticket  that came back this morning with instructions on how to fix it, and your saying it doesn't work? My teacher is usuing windows 8, right up on the whiteboard with this?

That is correct.  Use Windows 7 or Windows XP.  Windows 8 is not supported for Inventor 2013.  I suspect Inventor 2014 will support Windows 8.
