The F8 key to accept the install will not work. Do you have
suggestions?

Try a Repair Install. Check here for further instructions. Pay very
close attention to Step 3.

Where in that repair install document does it say to press F8? If you follow
the instructions, you should be ok - however, if your installtion is so
blown that setup cannot find a previous version to repair, you are out of
luck.
