I have the immense displeasure of trying to install Exchange 2010 (migrating from 2003) onto our new Server 2012 R2 server. I get to the install screen when I get this error immediately upon pressing the "Install" button:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately there is NO help on the Microsoft site about this error so I have NO clue how to fix this or what file is missing. What do I do next? I'd like to get this installed and running over this weekend. Can anyone shed light on this problem? It's 2012 R2, just patched the 15 updates that it found BEFORE installing (or attempting I should say) Exchange 2010.
