Please help me solve this problem. I tried to search everything, but it did not help me.

Answer 1

I searched google and found a solution to this. When I tried to install AppFabric before this, I installed SQL Server. Therefore, in the Environment Variable variable named PSModulePath had the SQL Server path inside it.

So, I just delete this path and try to install AppFabric again, and the problem is resolved.

Now it is installed.

Answer 2

This error occurs because you deleted the installation folder. On drive C, this folder name is the GUID key in this form c: / 75f74225aca163c57a7737aa59a4. You need to restart WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.msi, and before clicking on the next screen, look at the installation path and copy the temporary folder that contains the missing files that generated the error code: 1603.

You can see the line before throwing the error to the log file

Process.Start: C: \ Windows \ system32 \ msiexec.exe / quiet / norestart / i "C: \ 338f6462408072c851cf3b1e \ Packages \ AppFabric-1,1-for-Windows-Server-64.msi" ADDDEFAULT = Work, WorkerAdmin, CacheClient, Setup / l * vx "C: \ Users \ Administrator \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ AppServerSetup1_1 (2013-03-05 18-06-39) .log" LOGFILE = "C: \ Users \ Administrator \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions (2013-03-05 18-06-39) .log "INSTALLDIR =" C: \ Program Files \ AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server "LANGID = en-US

Then delete the words Process.Start : and /quiet and run the command as an administrator on MSDOS

C: \ Windows \ system32 \ msiexec.exe / norestart / i "C: \ 338f6462408072c851cf3b1e \ Packages \ AppFabric-1,1-for-Windows-Server-64.msi" ADDDEFAULT = Work, WorkerAdmin, CacheClient, Setup / l * vx "C: \ Users \ Administrator \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ AppServerSetup1_1 (2013-03-05 18-06-39) .log" LOGFILE = "C: \ Users \ Administrator \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions (2013 -03-05 18-06-39) .log "INSTALLDIR =" C: \ Program Files \ AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server "LANGID = en-US

The installer will go to the step before the error, and then ask for the missing folder, select the path to the folder that you copied to C: indicated in the first step up.

Answer 3

The same problem, PSModulePath had a SQL Server 2012 path, since I already installed it, but the path had a double quotation mark ("), which broke all the scripts that used the PSModulePath variable.

Answer 4

The above error error says: -

 V1.0 is not installed 

It looks like you are installing the service pack. So, shouldn't you install 1.0 first and then 1.1?
