Is there another way to get the setup going ? ClickOnce service is broken on Windows 8 and since setup.exe is a ClickOnce bootstrapper, it makes our installer to appear broken. The last line from the log above means that ClickOnce attempts to start the actual installer, but the service it uses (dfshim) for some unknown reason fails to do so. You can still use the installer by finding the directory where CLickOnce put the downloaded application. Unfortunately it's not possible to tell where it is exactly, it changes from system to system. You need to find directory with WindowsInstaller.exe along with Xamarin.Web.Installer.dll - the two might be in several directories, choose the one which has lots of dlls and files. Run WindowsInstaller.exe from there. We are working on replacing the ClickOnce installer with a better solution, sorry for the trouble you're experiencing.
