Hyper-V FOM Install - Illegal Characters

I'm trying to install FOM 10.5 for Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012.  The installation gets almost to the end and then I get an error, "Illegal characters in path.  While 'Creating the configuration file...'.  I've tried installing to the path C:\Hyper-V and that didn't work.  

 

What do I need to get this installed?

Re: Hyper-V FOM Install - Illegal Characters

I'm not sure what the issue was trying to install FOM on Hyper-V, but I was able to install a fresh copy of Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V on a different server and installed FOM on that server.  Once FOM was up and running on the new server I was able to do a Storage Live Migration to the production server I was originally trying to install FOM on.  

 

I now have FOM running and connected to the CMC!

You could also check if the automount is enabled in diskpart. If it is disabled, enable it.
