Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Core.SetupException: AppFabric installation failed because installer MSI returned with error code : 1603
Of three servers, it worked on 1, but not 2 or 3.
Server 1 had a System Variable PSModule with the value:
C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\;c:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server\PowershellModules
That same System Variable on Server 2 and 3 had a value of :
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\
We replicated the value from Server 1 to Server 2 and rebooted Server 2.
That still didn't fix it.
Finally, we deleted the local group "AS_Observers" that had been created and repeated the install and it completed successfully. Also delete "AS_Administrators" if it exists.
NOTE:
When you're done, don't forget to download CU5 with all the updates for clustering AppFabric1.1-KB2932678-x64-ENU.exe.

And we had to install .NET 3.5 through command line for AppFabric to even start.

ReplyDeleteTHis worked for me..
Prior to installing AppFabric, the groups AS_Observers and AS_Administrators must not exist. To check if they exist for you and to get rid of the that you just go into administrative tools, computer management, local users and groups, and groups and if AS_Observers or AS_Administrators exists, delete it. as shown here msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637696(v=azure.10).aspx Hope this helps out anyone who encounters this problem. This resolved the problem for me and the program is finally installed haha
