SCCM 2012 R2 Install - SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER install fail - bgbisapi.msi could not install

Question

Installed SCCM 2012 R2 Primary Site on the D: drive on a Windows 2012 R2 server. The install went as expected but when I open the Component Status, there are a number of Error messages which pertain to the failed installation of the SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER:
"Site Component Manager failed to install this component, because the Microsoft Installer File for this component (bgbisapi.msi) could not install."
Here is the error from BgbSetup.log:

From what I've read online this problem seems to be born of installing SCCm on the D: drive which throws dotNET. A few people seem to have had some luck with editing two of the dotNET files (regsvcs.exe.config and InstallUtil.exe.config) to include
the following lines:
    <runtime>
        <loadfromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
    </runtime>
In pursuit of a fix, I took backups of both files and then made the change to regsvc.exe.config but I was unable to do the same with Installutil.exe.config (opening the file in Admin Notepad would only let me Save As...).
Can anyone suggest what the problem could be? Am I barking up the wrong tree with the config file editing? Any info/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
You could try to copy Installutil.exe.config and edit the copy-file. Then copy the edited file to replace the old file.
