I have a brand new install of Windows 2012 Server Standard Edition. I am trying to get SQL Server 2012 installed on it, but have been having a lot of trouble.
When I run the System Configuration Checker everything passes except for "Setup administrator" -
Rule "Setup administrator" failed. The account running SQL Server Setup does not have administrator rights on the computer. To continue, use an account with administrator rights.
If I go to try the "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation then I get the same "Setup administrator" error plus the following one.
Setup account privileges
Rule "Setup account privileges" failed.
The account that is running SQL Server Setup does not have one or all of teh following rights: the right to back up files and directories, the right to manage auditing and the security log and the right to debug programs. To continue, use an account with both
of these rights. For more information, see

I am running the install using the administrator account. The server is not on a domain. I have tried to suggestions in the links above as well as this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000257, but I still keep getting the same error. I even just re-installed the OS so it is fresh, nothing else on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
