Answer 1

Mine is solved.
Was because I removed VMM 2012 R2 on the same host (again, because R2 doesn't do P2V conversions) but the uninstall failed to remove "Microsoft Web Deploy 3.5". When VMM 2012 SP1 installs uses Web Deploy 3.0 and was blocked by the newer version. uninstalled
3.5 and then the console install worked.
hopes this helps someone out there.
