You may be running into a known issue regarding drive mappings, windows 8, and Dynamics SL.  Here’s the workaround:
To install from client:

1. Open a command prompt ‘as administrator’. From Windows 8 start menu type COMMAND. Right mouse click on ‘Command Prompt’ and select ‘Run as administrator’

2. Map the drive share NET USE S: \computernamesharename /PERSISTENT:YES

3. Run setup from the workstation folder CD APPLICATIONWRKSTN SETUP

4. Follow the usual prompts

5. Close the command prompt when completed

6. Open the command prompt without administrator From Windows 8 start menu type COMMAND. Select the ‘Command Prompt’ Entry.

7. Map the drive share NET USE S: \computernamesharename /PERSISTENT:YES

To verify try running Dynamics SL from the icon places on the Windows 8 menu as well as the Database Maintenance icon placed in control panel/Administrative Tools

Note: to remove the network mapped drives will require removing both the Administrator privileged and the standard access mappings.
