Ive been trying for a month to get this to work, but nothing works. The error is too vague for me to see what's wrong. Trying to install Maya 13 Student Edition on my Windows 8 64bit laptop. I've tried running as admin, uninstalling C++, updating Directx, redownloading the files and still I get nothing. Here's the log:
