SharePoint 2013 install fails with error 1603 everytime...it cannot be done
My challenge is to install SharePoint 2013 SP1 server on Windows 2012R2 Server with SQL Server 2014 as the database. All on one server. All of my attempts have so far failed to get over the insta...
Finally solved this problem. It appears the MSI - oserver.msi was having an issue with compatibility (i assume windows). I downloaded another copy of SharePoint SP1 from MSDN and copied the oserver.MSI package into my initial installation (extracted ISO). I tried just the new copy of the install from MSDN that failed, and the old one also failed on it's own. BUT, the install worked when i replaced this whole "global" directory.
New MSI was created on 2.10.2012 and the one i had was newer - created on 25.01.2014.
For some reason the installation did not like this newer version of the oserver.MSI
Hi Steve. Thanks for the hint. It shows installed for me. So when running the pre-reqs it says AppFabric is already there, with nothing to do. But, worth a shot, i will uninstall it, then try the command line install.
