Trouble installing Corsair mouse software with win 8.1

so i saw there was and update available, go to download it, says to uninstall old software first ok do that,then it doesn't install new software. tired launching installer in compatibility mode for win8 fail. try turning off antivirus and run as admin still nothing. any thing else i can do? my mouse still works as it used to but im am unable to use the software if i want to make any changes to it now. 

There are a lot of similar driver problems out there regarding Windows 8.1 so I would presume that Corsair will simply have to put out a new driver package specifically for Windows 8.1. Apparently Microsoft managed to make it so that a lot of existing Windows 8 drivers do not work with 8.1 and many hardware manufacturers were surpised by it.

looks like i just have to wait then.
