Try asking your question in the Visual Studio Setup and Installation Forum at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/vssetup/threads.
Remember that Windows 8 is still a preview, with limited hardware and software support.
Anyway, according to the informations reported at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/en-US/CompatCenter/ProductViewerWithDefaultFilters?Architecture=X64&CurrentPage=0&TotalPages=-1&ShowCriteria=10%20Results%20Per%20Page&SortCriteria=Relevance&IsSearchWithinFilterAvailable=False&FilterByCompatibility=ALL&TextSearch=Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%202008&AbsolutePage=-1&LastRequested=13&LastSearchTerm=Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%202008, Visual Studio 2008 should be compatible with Windows 8: could your provide more detailed informations about the problems you're facing when trying to install it?Bye.

Thanks Bruno for the information.
Actually Windows 8 has .NET v4 installed. And the setup which I am trying to run is asking for .NET Framework v3.5.

Try installing the .NET Framework 3.5 before proceeding with the Visual Studio 2008 installation: read the document at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443(v=vs.110).aspx.
