Unable to Install SQL Server on Server 2012

The problem
I have been trying to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012. I continually get the same error:
Managed SQL Server Installer has stopped working

What I've tried
After initial googling, I've tried the following things:
Go through the list of hardware and software pre-reqs. All the
software seems to be there by default on Server 2012 and my hardware
meets the reqs.
Copy the installation media to the local drive and try to install
from that (rather than a DVD). This produced the same error.
Based on another error message, I installed .NET 4.0 (which
apparently is not on Server 2012 out of the box). Same error.
Install from command line. This didn't work either, but it gave me a
different error:
Error:

Any ideas what I am missing?
