XAMPP installer failing to launch

[Aidan]

My XAMPP installer won't launch for some odd reason.

It's not corrupt, as I've re-downloaded it multiple times;

Running Windows 8 Professional w/ Media Center
Intel core i3, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD w/ 7 Partions - c:\ being the windows installation.

Anybody else have this problem?

Just because you download it multiple times, doesn't mean it isn't corrupt. Do you have an antivirus running? Sometimes those things interrupt downloads at the most inconvenient time...

What do you mean "won't launch". What are the symptoms, messages, etc?
