Im trying to install the localDB from MS.  All goes well until the starting services portion.  After a while (10 seconds or so) I get a message that VSS writer failed to start.  Looking at the logs in Event log, it turns out that it (VSS) times out. 

I read somewhere that if you increase the wait time from Microsofts hardcoded 10 seconds it will install.  Has anyone come across this issue? How did you resolve it.
VS 2012 Professional
Windows 7 64 bit
SQL Server 2008 R2.
