I've spent almost 2 hours attempting to install Lightroom 5.2  Steps to repro:

Windows 8, Lenovo Carbon X1, out of the box.  Norton Firewall/Antivirus disabled.

Downloaded Lightroom installer from location specified. Browsers tried: IE10, Firefox 25.

Ran the installer extractor and let default extraction destination stand (Desktop\Adobe).

Expected: extraction complete

Actual - Error received: "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."

I am logged in as an administrator, and there is over 100GB free on the machine.

try extracting the files on another computer, copying the extracted files to a usb stick or external harddrive and then loading the extracted files onto your problematic computer.
