Update:
Since I'm getting no feedback I decided to start all over with a brand new Hyper-V VM of Windows server 2016 standard, updated to latest Windows updates then installed SQL 2014 standard with SP2. With the intention to then set up DPM2016, update to UR2, then upgrade SQL2014 > SQL2016. Well, I am getting the exact same error: ID 810. Details: Fatal error during installation.
This is now the 8th (!) time I've tried to set up DPM2016 this weekend and as usual DPM logfiles is not giving me much to troubleshoot based on (see paste below). Eventlog is giving me a couple of errors while I doubt is relevant to my DPM troubleshooting (also see paste below). The only one that might be relevant is the Report Server Windows Service event
