It's work for me.

SQL Server 2008 R2

I had attempted to perform an unauthorized for this part of installation in windows 8.1 64bit:

SSISConfigAction_repair_postmsi_Cpu64

Changing installation drive for another drive to C: , solve my problem. Also, I read on another topic, don't close installation panel, because there is a bug while installing SQL Server.

Summary:

  1. don't change installation Drive
  2. don't close installation panel
  3. make sure your source file is fine
  4. run Setup as the administrator

Enjoy

1) So the methodology I used to figure out what was wrong with my system was to use Process Monitor.

I set the filter to listen for processes that contain "Scenario" and processes that contain "SQL".

2) I clicked Retry, and saw an ACCESS_DENIED for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine.

3) Checked permissions, and ensured that Users have read. Permissions had been set to deny on them.

Additionally, I have McAfee HIPs running on the server, so I also had an error where HIPs wouldn't allow editing of permissions to the Event Log registry.

So, had to have HIPs disabled temporarily, as well.
