I tried installing but I get

Failed to set permission on the installed files.
Please see the logfile in 'C:/<install_path>\8.2\tmp\pgpem.log'.

did you check what's in the logfile?
Also, check  the permissinoso n the install path and all the way down -
full permissions for *your* account is required to set the permissions
(the service account only needs read on things except the data
directory)
