Avoid errors when install SharePoint 2016

Error in process of Prerequisite installation

Most of errors apears when Prerequisite is not done well or when you manual install some package which require preconfiguration made by prerequisite software (prerequisiteinstaller.exe) .

So ... DONT manual install Server AppFabric, Cumulative Update 7 for AppFrabic 1.1 and WCF Data Services,use prerequisiteinstaller.exe to do it.

1. First step when u do offline installing. Download packages or use this powershell script https://www.mondor.ro/stuff/Download-SP2016-prerechizite.ps1.

Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.6

2. DONT manual install Server AppFabric, Cumulative Update 7 for AppFrabic 1.1 and WCF Data Services, use prerequisiteinstaller.exe like:

prerequisiteinstaller.exe /AppFabric:C:\path-to-downloaded-files\WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe

prerequisiteinstaller.exe /WCFDataServices:C:\path-to-downloaded-files\WcfDataServices.exe /quiet
