I have a few suggestions.

First, see if Windows thinks it is already installed. Launch the Add/Remove Programs panel, Choose the NI Software, and see if LabVIEW 2013 is in the list and what state it is in.

I would also suggest trying the installation again, but this time as administrator. It is a bit odd on Win8, but you still initiate it with a right-click, but you choose the administrative option on the bottom I think.

Please post back if you are still having issues. There should be folks in the office Monday, and we should be able to get to the bottom of it.
