have also asked question in MSDN forum.

Do i have any better solutions to trouble shoot this problem other than re installing the OS ?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem installing visual studio 2010 professional on a Windows 8.1 machine. I tried to install Visual Studio from a local directory, but this failed. Although all the files from the DVD looked exact the same as on the local directory I recopied all the files again and this time I had success with installing.

I also followed these steps found here to install without typing in the Product Key and your custom settings. And adding SP1 with the installation as well. It didn't solved the problem, but I installed the software with unattended setup.
