I had a similar issue on Windows 7 and the error message stumped me for a while.
Eventually I realised that the message was referring to my install of SQL 2008, and that the temporary location used during the install of 2008 was what the error was referring to. I guess 2012 needed to uninstall some 2008 bits and pieces.
In the end I rebuilt the temporary structure from my 2008 install and the installation continued successfully. Painful...
