Cannot get AppFabric installed on Windows Server 2016
I'm installing SharePoint 2016 on Server 2016, using the shared roles option. Everything installs ok except for AppFabric, I can't get Distributed Cache to start.
The error in central admin is...
- If you're not familiar with it, you didn't use it :) Usually what you'd do is set all your DistCache parameters (service account, memory usage) prior to introducing a 2nd DC host, but if you need to deploy a DC+FE host, you can use that parameter to prevent DC from provisioning.
If DC is truly not working, you need a new farm. Certain things are only provisioned when the first DC host is introduced to the farm.
There is nothing you need to change in the AppFab config wizard. AppFab clustering is not used with SharePoint.
What have you tried, so we don't go down the same steps? Are you able to run Use-CacheCluster on a host you've attempted to start AppFab?

I've tried uninstalling, re-installing AppFabric using the pre-reqs. Created new VM and re-installed Pre-reqs and SharePoint.
When I run use-cachecluster I get this error:
SubStatus<ES0001>:Error in reading provider and connection string values.
Please provide the values manually.
When I run Get-CacheHost I get this error:
SubStatus<ES0001>:Error: No valid cluster settings were provided with
Use-CacheCluster.
- Is this VM from a template or installed via Windows ISO w/o any other software (antivirus, etc.)?
It was installed via .iso No other software installed. Just SharePoint and the pre-reqs. Firewall is turned off.
- Can you grab ULS and Application Event Logs from when you attempt to start AppFab via Central Admin?
