There may be multiple reasons of unsuccessful installation of Norton.com/Setup Product on your device, but when error 8504,104 happens, it may be possible that any malware or the other security application already installed on your device is creating mess and conflict with the installation of new Norton Security Product. It may be a malware or another antivirus software that may be preventing Norton service from starting. Or broken Norton installation or a file missing may be another common cause for this error.

In order to fix Error 8504,104, what you need to do is, you need to uninstall the current Norton installation and completely wipe it from your device then try for a full re-install.
