Windows server appfabric download error sharepoint 2013

by

As part of the SharePoint 2013 setup, we need to install all the prerequisites by executing “prerequisiteinstaller.exe” before we run the FARM configuration wizard.

AppFabric is one of the prerequisite to be installed. While I am executing the prerequisites setup file I got an error as “Windows Server AppFabric: Installation Error”.

SharePoint 2013 Windows server AppFabric installation Error

As we all know without installing the prerequisites we can’t execute the SharePoint configuration wizard.

Below are the various solutions to cross the roadblock.

Solution 1:

You can install all the prerequisites either by executing “prerequisiteinstaller.exe” or you can download all the setup files and install them one by one.

(Note: don’t install WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64_6.1 this is not the correct version that SharePoint installer seeks)

Execute all the prerequisites in this article (except this one), let the prerequisite installer to install AppFabric and configure it manually for you by running the following command from command prompt:

You need to Install AppFabric from above first then run this update,

Don’t run this update if AppFabric above is not installed yet

Solution 2:

Sometimes even you install prerequisites offline you might see this error. So ensure the below 2 points:

1. Multiple attempts to install AppFabric may have corrupted the PSModulePath environment variable. Check that PSModulePath in the Environment Variables looks like:

C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\;c:\Program
Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server\PowershellModules
My Computer -> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variable -> System Variable -> PSModulePath

2. Delete “Customer Experience Improvement Program” folder under
C:\windows\system32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\AppFabric
Once you delete the folder run the AppFabric setup.
