Answer 1

Struggling with the same problem for 3 days I finally solved my issue by disabling windows firewall for "Guest or public network". I have yet to figure out what application/service to allow through so I can re-enable it.

Answer 2

This issue is not faced if installation is done on the same pc through a virtual machine. What I did was :

Have allotted 4gb ram, 60gb hdd & 4 cores to the VM.

1)I installed a virtual machine with default settings.

2)Then I stopped your virtual machine (shut Windows 8 down, DO NOT suspend it).

3)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8 machine then click "Show in Finder".

4)Right click the file then click "Show package contents", then find and open with a text editor a file with the extension .vmx

5)Go till the end of the file and add this two lines (first check whether they were previously added):

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"

vhv.enable = "TRUE"

6)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8, click "Preferences" then "Advanced". Choose "Intel VT-X with EPT" as "Preferred virtualization engine".

And then when I started the windows in the virtual machine it seems to be working fine without any additional setting change. However it is still not running on a physical machine

I recommend if someone is facing a similar issue then to use a Virtual Machine till this kind of issue is resolved.
