Receive the error 'can't install user to user_admins' and the install stops. This is on a win 8 PC running at 3 ghz with 4 GB ram.

Use BOINC 7.0.27, available from the last post in this thread:
One of its fixes is:
WINSETUP: Fix long standing installer bug where we were attempting to add the boinc_master account to the boinc_admins group when installing in the non-service install mode. boinc_master is only created during service installs. This was causing a setup failure on Windows 8. As far as I can tell it should have also been failing on Win7 and Win Vista.
