SQL Sever 2012 will not install - Database engine or scenario.exe failure

Hello everyone!

I have been trying for days to get MS SQL Server 2012 SP1 installed on my 1and1 VPS and every installation attempt fails. It will hang at the SqlEngineConfigAction_install_startup_Cpu64 for a few minutes and then give me a ScenarioEngine.exe - Application Error message. Once I click ok, the entire installation bombs out. Error logs state that the installation never occurred.

The server specs from 1and1 are:
XXL Package
6 vcores
500GB Hard Drive Space
6GB Memory
Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter SP1

All help is greatly appreciated!!
