In the end I think NSM won't install correctly on Windows 2012R2. I tried installing it multiple times and could never get it to work right. After trying many things and rebuilding my NSM setup many times I gave up and tried installing it on 2008R2 and it works fine there.

We've had a large number of customers successfully install NSM on
Windows 2012 / 2012 R2, and the error you described is not an
installation error. We would like to troubleshoot this with you further
if possible; please do reach out to us if you have the time to do so.
Thank you.

unfort, I no longer have my original NSM test instance with the 'Unable to Service this request...' - not sure how I got to that state as I've never been able to get back to that state with nsm installed on 2012R2.

On my current windows 2012r2 NSM test instance I get ''Setup Failed 0x80070017 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check)", which I think is caused by VC redistributable. I've rebuild this server many times and every time I now get that error during NSM install. I'll e-mail you the Engine install log by noon tomorrow.

Thanks,
Gabriel
