Richard,
Thank you very much for that. I was looking for hours. Hopefully it works, I'll try it.
Cheers!
So, the article still didn't work but a comment below the article pointed to the solution.
This must be run on the server in Powershell:
(You must remove Application-Server and AS-Web-Support (credit to chequers))
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,windows-identity-foundation,`NET-Framework-45-ASPNET,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,`Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-WMI,`Web-Common-HTTP,NET-HTTP-Activation,NET-Non-HTTP-Activ,NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45 ` -Source 'D:\sources\sxs'
This really needs to be fixed with a new ISO image. There's no way that should be required on a new server.
Thanks again.
Glad to hear you solved it.
Unfortunately you will find this is a pretty common issue doing onpremise deployments. So many moving parts that there will always be issues like this.
Spoke too soon. Now the prerequisite installer is in an endless loop. It fixes App fabric, reboots, and repeats upon login.
I disagree with you however, this is not common. I have been in IT 30 years, and it does happen occasionally, but I would say very uncommon. Typically these problems get iron out in the beta stages.
