Hi,
Are you trying to install ALM Server on Windows 8? Please note that you should install ALM server on a server OS (i.e.. Windows Server 2008 R2). You can find all supported environments here: https://hpln.hp.com/page/alm-qc-enterprise-technical-specifications . Please also check this KB article if you are going to install ALM on Server 2012: http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/document/KM00729157
Thanks,
Hristo
