Can't install visual studio 2013 on windows 7

Question

I downloaded the ISO file of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on the Microsoft MSDN website. I could install it on my home PC running Windows 8.1 without problems. However

Answer 1

Another solution to go through the installer with UI is to disable any hardware acceleration (and reenable it afterwards)

(windows 7) Go to Display, Screen Resolution, Advanced Settings, TroubleShoot, Change Settings Set the slider for Hardware Acceleration to none, and accept.

The visual studio setup ui should be fine now.
