    Bad media?  Have you tried redownloading the iso?
     
    It installed fine for me in Hyper-v other than the DHCP issue.  I
    installed from the iso directly.

    You say it's failing, but you don't say how.
     
    If it's just sitting there and never continuing during the hardware
    phase, , just go into the VM's settings when it's doing that and
    change the NIC to "Not connected", wait a few seconds, then change it
    back to your external network, then the install should continue. 
     
    There's a bug in Vail and/or Hyper-v that makes it iffy if it gets an
    IP address in time from your DHCP server and the Vail install just
    kind of stalls out in that situation.

    It gets to nearly the end of 'Expanding Windows files' (96%) then just stops with 'There was a problem during the installation' giving a link to the above installation error log file.
