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 **************

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?
