I recently came across the following error message when adding Server 2012R2 features. It indicates that the source files should be specified even through they already were.

Thanks to Terence Luk I found my answer. After removing security update KB2966828 the problem goes away.
I suspect that this problem is resolved in later updates as I have not come across it before, and the server in question was a few months out of date.
