CRM 2011 - Windows Azure Installation Error

I went to install CRM 2011 for a customer last Friday on a brand new server only to get stuck at the Pre-Req screen with a "fatal error during installation" result for the Windows Azure platform AppFabric SDK 1.0.

I did a repair on .NET 4.0 and even did a full uninstall and re-install only to get the same result. I downloaded the WindowsAzureAppFabricSDK-x64.msi file directly from Microsoft's page (April Update) only to get a similar error. I looked in the Event Viewer and saw the following error:

Error 1026, .NET Runtime
Application: RelayConfigurationInstaller.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception
Exception Info: exception code e0434352, exception address 000007FEFCF2AA7D

It turns out it is a known issue that the AppFabric team is working on. See this thread from the MSDN forums.

To get past this error, you can either:

1) Download the previous build from here:
https://mercuryit.blob.core.windows.net/$root/WindowsAzureAppFabricSDK-x64.msi
You can also find this link in the thread in the MSDN forums.
Whenever they come up with a fix it is suggested to download and upgrade to the newer build.

2) Download v 2.0 of the AppFabric from here:

I have not personally tried this one, but see this thread for success stories.
