Brand new installation of the MARS Agent (no previous installation); Azure VM, running Server 2012 R2.
Installer gets to the point where a couple of CMD windows would normally open, then it errors out with the following message:
"The Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent Installation has failed.
Error: Failed to install Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent.
Problem: 1603:Fatal error during installation"
Then, in the event viewer, I get this:

Event ID: 11722

Description:
Product: Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action EventProviderRegister, location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent\bin\, command: "C:\Windows\system32\wevtutil.exe" im "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent\bin\EventProvider.man"
I have rebooted the VM, I have checked to make sure there isn't already an installation of the MARS Agent, and I have (just to be safe) ensured that all outstanding updates are installed. So far, nothing has worked.
