dotnet: .NET Framework 4.7.2 Developer Pack installer crashes when run over WinRM

When running the .NET Framework 4.7.2 Developer Pack installer (NDP472-DevPack-ENU.exe) over WinRM, the installer crashes. It does not crash when run from an interactive desktop session.

This can be reproduced by using Packer from Hashicorp, or Powershell Remoting, on a clean installation of Windows Server 2012 R2.

The installer exits with an exit code corresponding to 0xC0000005, which represents an Access Violation.

The only clue is a single entry in the Application event log:
