Okay, i've done plenty of CF7 to CF8 upgrades and I have never seen this issue.
I run the autoplay,.exe and InstallAnywhere launches and I make it to the
language select screen and click okay, About 3/4 of the way through the next
status bar. I get a Fatal Application Error pop-up box stating This
Application has Unexpectedly Quit. Invocation of theis Java Application has
caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit (LAX).
The details button then states this:

Summary
-------
Installation: Successful
This is a client's server so I have limited knowledge of configuration that
isn't obvious. I did notice that outbound port 80 seems to be blocked as I
can't hit web pages from the server, but DNS resolution works. Inbound port 80
is obviously open because the current sites running on this server are
reachable. I also noticed FuseTalk is installed Any pointers as to what the
issue might be would be very helpful.
Thanks

The first suggestion is to check the Actual File Size and MD5 Checksum
of the file. Assuming you are installing from a download file as is
common, the file may be incomplete.
The ColdFusion Download page provides the expect values.

While I didn't specifically check the MD5 values, I did consider the possibilty
of a corrupt installer. The first attempt was from a CD install that had been
copied to the server. Once that didn't work I FTP'd up a known good install
from one of my servers and the exact same problem occured. I can try and check
the values Monday but I think its unlikely that they both would corrupt in the
same manner when placed on the server in two different ways from two different
sources.
I appreciate the input though...keep the ideas coming....

Then the next most common issue would be firewall and|or anti-virus
software or server settings blocking the necessary ports during install.

Any idea what ports are needed during installation so I can verify they aren't blocked?

Not a complete list one problem is that the exact ports will very
depending on installation choices, i.e. built-in web server versus
production web server or stand alone versus multi-home etc.
Are any log files being generated during the installation process?
Those are always a good source for this type of problem.

Nothing other then the log install log in my original post, which didn't show
any errors, but its shows it didn't do anything either. And as far as options
I didn't even get the point in the install where I would select those. All I
got to select was the language before it died.

Okay, I figured it out. The username we had been given for the server had a
"%" in it. This screwed up the environmental variables for the temp folders
because of the extra %. I created a new user account with the % and all was
well.

There's a new one for the books. Glad you figured it out.
