It seems that this error might occur if you have a corrupt installation of .NET Framework. R2012a requires v4.0: <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17718>

Sometimes the .NET framework appears to be installed, though the installation is corrupt. Best bet is to uninstall and reinstall the .NET 4.0 framework.
