I was trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 8 PC. In some final stage I got message

This driver cannot be used due compatibility issues

VSPerf Profiling Control Driver
Microsoft Corporation

Later, when system was trying to install SQL Server Express I got final result:

The following component failed to install:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Services Pack 1 (x64)

I was trying to run VS and got message:

Cannot create the window.

How to solve these problems and make visual studio running on Windows8?
