Tuning process exited unexpetedly.(DTAEngine) - with SQL Server 2012

Question

While running the Database Engine Tuning Advisor with SQL Server 2012, I get the following error at the Consuming Workload step: "Tuning process exited unexpetedly.(DTAEngine) - with SQL Server 2010."

Here are the product versions used, the latest to date I believe (SQL Server 2012):

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio      11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools      11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)      6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML      3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer      9.0.8112.16421
Microsoft .NET Framework      4.0.30319.276
Operating System      6.1.7601

I found one related error log:

Thank you.
