Cannot complete installation of Windows 2012 R2 server foundation on Hyper-V

hyper-v-server-2012-r2

I am trying to install VMW Windows 2012 R2 foundation on the Windows 2012 R2 host. After completing the installation it is asking for administrator account password but does not take the mouse input or keyboard input. I have inserted the integration disk vmguest.iso in the VM, but keep getting this error message

Mouse not captured in Remote Session.

I cannot also shutdown the machine at this point. Any ideas how to solve this?

This version of Windows 2012 (Foundation) can't be used as a virtual machine.

cannot host virtual machines or be used as a guest operating system in a virtual machine.

The link is for Windows 2012, however same should apply for R2.
