I get errors, when I try to install the drivers. It is a fresh install with all the windows updates.

Sure does. Have you turned off driver signing ? This involves running Win8 in test mode...did you do this ?

You can permanently enable Test Mode by opening an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) and typing the following commands, then rebooting:
To turn it on :
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

To turn it off :
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF


Also, you may run into an issue with certain plug-ins detailed here :

In fact, if you have any of these plugs, I'd like to know if you strike the same issue.

Thanks Dante. Turning off driver signing worked :-) Here is another way to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to- ... d-drivers/

I don't have any DAS plug-ins.
