Found this page here:

I know it is old, but I wanted to add a tip for the possible future people looking for help.
For windows 8, installing 3.71 workstation from CD as you described. First go to:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system
change EnableLUA from 1 (on) to 2 (off)
No clue what it actually does, but found this tip elsewhere on the web and just refound it now. I just installed the workstation without the General File Transfer Error
