Your PC needs a reboot according to the log:

Condition 'RebootPending = 1' evaluates to true.

Stop Block: SystemRebootPendingBlock : Per continuare l'installazione è necessario riavviare il computer. Riavviare il computer ed eseguire nuovamente l'installazione.

this means this:

To continue the installation you must restart the computer. Restart the computer and run the installation again.

Reboot (not shutdown!) and run the setup again

  • Just curious, is there any reason that shutting down/pressing the power button won't do the same thing as restarting?

    not in Windows 8. A shutdown here is logoff + hiberation. Sep 2, 2013 at 18:40
  • thanks, it worked,there where some pending updates and i thought they belonged to the os, not to the application (that updated the framework i guess)
