Have two systems, recently upgraded each from Win8 Pro 64bit to Win8.1 Pro 64bit. Noticed that Classic Shell was missing after the upgrade. Checked the registry and found that key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run was missing the StringValue: Classic Start Menu and the required DATA "Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -startup - added same, problem resolved.

Use this only as a last resort. Programs added to the Run key are launched with a 5-10 second delay. Try deleting that key, then run the installer and choose the Repair option.
If that doesn't work, uninstall, reboot, install again.

Are you saying Windows 8.1 fails to install? If so, I don't think Classic Shell is your problem.

try this:
open command prompt *as admin*
and type

sfc /scannow
This should attempt to repair any problems with your current installation...

also how are you trying to install it, through the store from 8.0? is it a licensed copy, ect?
