The server I am running the installation was already used to install XP1 topology, and everything worked just fine.

Any idea what might be the issue?

Answer: 
Right after post my question, realized that sqlcmd was not installed at the server - which is weird, because XP1 topology didn't require at all!

In my case, I had to download and install

* [Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50420)
* [Microsoft Command Line Utilities 13 for SQL Server](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52680)

Once I got both installed, it was just a matter to re-run the XP0.
Thank you, Vinicius. To add to the correct answer, after downloading the two utilities from your answer, my problem was not resolved.

I encountered into the same issue when running Sitecore installation using SIF on staging environment where SQL server was not added to environment variables.
When running the SIF on dev/staging/prod environments where SQL server management studio is not installed, after installing the 2 utilities, we need to make sure that environment System variable `Path` should contain `C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn` which is a location of "SQLCMD.EXE"
