Summary:
There are some considerations when installing CA Secure Proxy Server (SPS) on Windows Server 2012.
1) Ensure that "8dot3names" are enabled on the partition where CA SPS is being installed.
2) Make sure to run the Installation file "ca-proxy-<version>-<bitlevel>.exe" with Elevated Privileges (Run As Administrator)
2) Don't use spaces in the CA SPS installation path when not installing on C:\. (It is advised to not use white space in the path at all).

1) Logon to the Windows Server 2012 host where CA SPS will be installed.
