Prerequisite Validation throwing "Unable to translate Unicode character \uDE57 at index 61 to specified code page."

I have a Win2012 Server Standard (v 6.3, build 9600) that already has AX Client installed from an existing AX 2012 R3 install folder. We want to re-install the client.  I ran the Prerequisite Validation for "Client" only, and the setup is failing with JIT error:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Text.EncoderFallbackException: Unable to translate Unicode character \uDE57 at index 61 to specified code page.

This same installation folder works fine on another VM of ours, so I suspect the issue is with this particular VM.  When I try to install client ayways, it throws this error, I suspect root issue is same as this one.

Any idea?
