Im having the same issue.
But all i got from the logs was:
CustomAction VM_Start Tomcat Immediate returned actual error code 1603.
I tried deleting all from %TEMP%, and created a whole dedicated vmware account on this windows 2012 server 64bit (btw), albeit the "all-in-one" installation crashed out here. Everything i have tried so far... didnt work.
Im stuck here. There is no further FYI information on the forums or knowledge board.
At this point, all and any tips are welcome...
Else its back to square one for me to have a go.
Thank you!!
