HyperV Integration Services: Fatal error during installation

I managed to convince the “powers that be” that we didn’t need to have a dual quad-core server with the capacity for 32GB of RAM to and connectivity to our SAN sitting around doing nothing until they occasionally use it for upgrade testing…  So I did a P2V (Physical to Virtual conversion) and shut down the physical machine.  But when I tried to install the Integration components…  I got “An error has occurred: Fatal error during installation.”  A quick google gave me the below post, and believe it or not.. it worked.  (I didn’t reboot before I installed.)

Reboot and reinstall the integration services.
