SQL Server 2008 R2 Express service crashes on Windows Server 2012

I am trying to deploy our application that uses SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (SP1 I believe) to a Windows Server 2012 Standard virtual machine (using VMWare Workstation 9.0.2). The SQL Server Express installation succeeded without issue, but when I attempt to restore our app's default SQL Server database from our installer, the sqlservr.exe service generates a fault and stops running. This also happens when I try to use SQL Server Management Studio to restore the database. As soon as I click the Add button on the Specify Backup dialog (using the restore database from a device option) Management Studio freezes and the service stops.

We have been using this same installer on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as well as Windows 8 successfully.

Here is the event log entry:
