Installation of SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites offline, AppFabric Installation Error resolution

background: To install SharePoint Windows Server in the IDC room, you cannot use the Product Preparation tool to install many dependent prerequisites online

Questions: Dependencies exist between some of the prerequisites for SharePoint 2013, which can be difficult to resolve if installation fails as long as the order is adjusted

Phenomenon:

1. The installation of AppFabric can succeed only when the default feature is selected, but SharePoint Setup cannot proceed because the component is incomplete

2. Select all features installation AppFabric will report an error: "The AppFabric installation failed because the installer MSI returned error code 1603. ”

3, modify the system environment variable psmodulepath=c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\modules\;D: \program Files (x86) \microsoft SQL Server\110\tools\powershell\modules for psmodulepath=c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\modules\, can be installed successfully, However, SharePoint Setup will report that AppFabric is not configured to continue

4. Using the command line x:\windowsserverappfabricsetup_x64.exe/i CACHECLIENT,CACHINGSERVICE,CACHEADMIN/GAC can also be installed successfully, but there are also no configuration issues

Workaround: Use the Prepare tool command line prerequisiteinstaller.exe/appfabric:<file>/I Cacheclient,cachingservice, CACHEADMIN/GAC installed successfully, the SharePoint installation can finally go down.

Recommendation: If you can only install offline, it is a good idea to download the installation package for all components, edit the full command line of the preparation tool, and complete all the installation by the Preparation tool.
