SQL Server 2012 Install Errors on Server 2012

Question

I am getting an error when installed a new copy of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 on a newly created Server 2012 that has all its updates.  About 90% of the way through the installation this is the error I received below:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup
The following error has occurred:
Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=11.0.3128.0&EvtType=0xDC112D1C%25400xBB814387
Second Error when continuing: 
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup
The following error has occurred:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=11.0.3128.0&EvtType=0xBA6E21AA%25400x9A41B222
I clicked cancel on both errors but I don't know if this will impact my application. After the installation completes I can see everything passed except the Database Engine. Any thoughts on this issue?
