Can't install Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8.1 (Parallels 9)

[Ejikpyroman]

Hello, I have a problem with Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8.1. When I'm trying to install VS, I'm getting this error message: "Installation is blocked. Compatibility mode of the Windows programs is on. Turn it off and try again".

Where can I turn the "Compatibility mode" off? When I go to the "Properties" (of the installer) > "Compatibility", "Compatibility mode" is already unchecked.

This is a known issue with Windows 8.1 RTM and it will be addressed in a future update of Windows 8.1. In the meantime, you can typically rename the EXE to get it to work correctly.

Examples:
Visual Studio Professional 2012 installer should be renamed to vs_professional.exe
Premium -> vs_premium.exe
Ultimate -> vs_ultimate.exe
