Hi,
I'm setting up two new SQL 2012 SP1 Standart Edition on two brand new VM's.
Setup goes smoothly until I select all the components and then I press Next. The setup seems freezes showing "Please Wait":
Looking at the setup log I'm finding a error that never seen before and that I'm not able to find any valid references on the internet:

Can anyone give me any hint on this ?
Thanks
