Plz Help problems installing SCCM 2012SP1

[Lynxess2012]

HI ALL

i am on a client site and i am having issues installing SCCM 2012SP1 i have never seen the errors before and wondered if anyone might have seen this.

all splash screens are blank, and the setupdl.exe will not launch on this server.

when i launch it i get the following errors in the error log:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any information on what might be causing this or an fix or workaround would be great

many thanks
