Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 Preview crashes during setup and start

Question

Hi,

I've just tried to use VS 2013 Preview, and I got several problems:

1. Something crashed during installation process, however, it wasn't the setup itself

2. The setup said that my computer doesn't support hardware virtualization and the Phone Emulator won't work. What kind of virtualization is needed? I have Windows 8 Pro and Intel Xeon X3220 which supports VT-x technology.

3. If I try to start VS then I get: 'Cannot find one or more components. Please reainstall the application'

Has anyone of you had similar problems?

Does the error you get in step 3 appear similar to what I have posted here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/791407/visual-studio-2013-preview-installation-fails-on-windows-8-1-preview

If so, could you please add your log file to the post and acknowledge that you are also able to reproduce the issue?
