    All Windows 8 updates must be installed or the 8.1 will not.

    I was having the same problem. I tried multiple times and no luck. I went to windows update and installed all of the updates that were listed, then went back to the App Store and tried the update and finally it worked.

    Same problem here.  Trying to install remotely to a laptop (before I do my desktop) and this is scaring me.
