I have Windows 8 too... I like it but it's buggy or maybe I should say "different"
I did discover that if I'm logged in as admin I cannot actually download files. After searching MS help and other forums I found the following info which addressed the problem.
I had to create a separate user account, give that account admin permissions, and then login under that account to download and install the patch.
I guess what I'm getting at is, are you positive that Win8 is letting you copy over those files?

you are correct that win8 wont let you just run things with admin access, but im not sure that you have to go through setting up a seprate account to get it.
i have found that you can simply right-click on the program that you want to have admin access and choose the run as admin option.
the down side being that you have to do this every time
