Can you mention which error you are facing while installing the personal edition?

You can see them in the errors tab while installing the personal edition.

Have you followed the below personal edition installation guide?

In the below link article, two things were mentioned: 

1. use the operator ID Administrator@pega.com

2.  use a desktop shortcut

I get the same issues as noted above. One shortcut installed.  I can (almost!) log on as the administrator@pega.com. It looks like it wants to open Dev Studio, but hangs. As the application is starting up, I see a bunch of Kafka-related errors. See attached.

Hi ,

Could you follow the below guide to install 8.3.
