Trying to get MR 2012 install on WS 2012 and SQL 2012 but the console keeps hanging on the following no matter which login we try. Any thoughts?
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]

I have the same question (0)It sounds like you selected NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE for the account to support your Application and/or Process Server - this is not recommended. You should establish a regular Active Directory account for this purpose - I call mine MRADMIN.
Here's a checklist I use when doing MR installs:
Make sure install user is Domain and Machine Administrator
Add Server Role - Web Server
Add Server Role - Application Server
Enable .Net 3.5.1 ASP.Net
Enable IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility Feature for IIS 7
Enable WCF HTTP Activation
Disable User Account Control
Reboot Machine (can try iisreset if not practical)
Run installation from a folder with short path-name
Run installation as administrator
Do NOT select NT AUTHORITY accounts - use an Active Directory Account created for this purpose.
