I just recently ran into another cryptoblocker problem. When it's setup you cannot install any version of MS Office from 2K10 up. Apparently Microsoft runs some stuff from the %localappdata% folder! You just disable the policies, gpupdate, install office, & re-enable the policies and all is well. I'm going to be adding a new windows 8.1 deployment image to our WDS Server which will bypass this but, what a PITA!
You know you have the issue b/c you'll get either a bootstrapper error or an unknown error and setup will just exit.
UPDATE: I just tested it on (3) PC's and disabling the GPO (un-linked it then gpupdate /force) did the trick.
Also of note; the cryptoblocker policies nerf Firefox and utorrent magnet links! To fix this you need to add some policies to enable them to run properly. Here is a link to get Firefox working:

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way and it's right there. Just replicate the process for utorrents exe and you're good to go.
