Installed PP2014 onto a win7 machine when it was released and it worked fine. Then I changed the computer and the new one is win8. No surprise, it wasn't straight forward.

Reason to hate windows 8 number #1137

Did a clean install of 2014 and SR1. Added all my runtimes. Farted about with a new install of V4 etc and fixed the problems associated with that. Wanted to install some new items. I normally use the content / install by zip method for things except python, so I installed zip 1 of a new product. Started to install zip 2 and the [name] already exists popup appeared as it tends to. Except that it froze 2014 to the point I had to CAD to close it down.

Set everything with administrator permissions, tried win7 compatibility mode plus another couple of suggestions win8 threw up. Nothing has worked. Still get the same any time install from zip finds a duplicate file name.

Obviously I can install by copying into runtimes but then I have to unzip everything and there is always the suspicion that something else will hit that same problem and maybe lose me a few hours work when I have to close the program with extreme prejudice.

So I figure its more win8 being a pain in the buttocks than PP2014 but wonder if anyone else came across this issue?
