I want to install Visual studio 2013 Ultimate, but an error message pops up saying:

You need a newer version of windows

After a little research about the known installation issues for VS2013, I updated to SP1 from the Microsoft website and installed IE10, but I am still unable to install it.

SOLUTION FOUNDED:

I have found the solution to my problem, simply by changing the Visual Studio installation File from the C (system drive) it was in the desktop, to the D (other stuff drive) and relaunching the installation again, magically the installation begins without any issues.
