Issue installing Broker Helper Service on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SCVMM R2 (4336176)

When entering the <DOMAIN>\<User> and <password> for the 'Broker Helper Service (brkhlprsvc)' login account,  the installer  reports that it could not find the server or may report an empty list.

The installation routine uses standard built-in querying from Install Shield and these APIs require the 'Computer Browser' service to be enabled.   The 'Computer Browser' service is 'Disabled' by default  in Windows Server 2008 R2.

To resolve this issue:

1. Cancel the current running vWorkspace installation.
2. On the Windows Server 2008 R2 server launch the Services applet (Click 'Start' and type  'services.msc' in the Run line, press enter to launch)
3. Browse the Services Console for 'Computer Browser'
4. Double click the 'Computer Browser' service
5. Set the 'Startup type' to Automatic
6. Click the 'Start' button
7. Re-launch the installation for the Broker Helper service

Enabling extended Windows Installer error reporting shows a Generic 1708 failure after querying Active Directory.
