Brand new 15" retina MBP can't bootcamp Windows 8.1 Ent

Just picked up a new Mid 2014 release MBP. I get through the install with bootcamp assistant and at the end receive "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."

Nothing I find in google seems to help, all attempts result in this error.
