I'm seeing the following when trying to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1 via WinRM:
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CasPol 2.0.50727.6387 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Success Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CasPol 2.0.50727.6387 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Success The following error occurred: There was an error generating the XML document. Error result: -2068774911 Result facility code: 1201 Result error code: 1 Please review the summary.txt log for further details Microsoft (R) SQL Server 2012 11.00.3000.00 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

The relevant part of the log file appears to showan issue running ScenarioEngine.exe. I followed the instructions at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d0800ccf-5ade-471c-8942-b7d43031478b/sql-2012-installation-error?forum=sqlgetstarted and set UpdateEnabled=false in DefaultSetup.ini. This did not resolve the problem.

11/21/2013 13:47:45.711 Removing entry ("MICROSOFT.SQLSERVER.CHAINER.SETUP", "Native")This is an unattended install running with:
\\installserver\data\packages\sqlserver2012sp1\setup.exe /QUIET /ConfigurationFile="C:\ConfigurationFile.ini"
I'm running as local Administrator and the install fails in exactly the same way if I install from a local path (as opposed to my network share).
Running the same command from cmd.exe or powershell succeeds.
Any help would be much appreciated.
