Comment 9 for bug 1094184

I had the same issue, and the procedure explained in the comment from pjarvi (patrickjarvi) worked flawlessly for me, too. Thanks a lot, Patrick.

Hope this issue can be solved in the software by the dev team, because many users of win8 64 bits might just give up (there are some entries in ubuntu one's website which state that it is supported on windows 7, no windows 8 explicitly shown, which also contributes to the probability of the user giving up. This doesn't occur in all instances, but might decrease the number of clients using this platform and don't have the capacity/willingness to figure out how to fix it).
