I had a working scvmm 2012 sp1 installation, and am attempting to upgrade to 2012 r2.
The old SCVMM product was removed (retaining the database), as well as ADK 8.0. I then installed ADK 8.1.
The install fails after a number of minutes with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied". From my reading of the log, that was the only obvious failure, and that the VMM server MSI installed successfully. It doesn't appear to get so far as to upgrade the database.
The OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with all updates applied. I have tried the install many times, noticed that the McAfee virus scanner was pushed to the box at some point, so I removed it, but still no dice.
