Deploying new front end server after rollup 12

Question
-
We need to install a new front end server, but I am receiving this error running the installer from MSDN. I assume this is a schema problem for what the installer expects the DB to be and what it actually is with Rollup 12. Is there installer updates somewhere, or a way get this new server online?
Thanks

Just to let you know, it's not just you. Exact same problem here. And by the way, uninstalling Rollup 12 does not seem to help at all.
You get part way into the installer and are greeted by the following error window:
---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Setup
---------------------------
Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.AddServerAction failed.
Requested value 'Geo' was not found.
---------------------------
Retry Cancel
---------------------------And the same problem occurs with the SRS installer.
I'm hoping they come out with a new CRM 2011 ISO with an updated/slip-streamed installer. Or at least provide a work-around soon. At the moment I'm tasked with getting 6 new full front-end servers on our deployment. Sadly, because of this issue, I've been forced to create a whole new deployment and am currently updating them from rollup 1 -> 6 -> 12 in parallel.
