Hello! I have AppFabric installed from the prerequisite installer for SharePoint Foundation 2013 on my virtual machine. Didn't think anything was wrong until down the road, I couldn't manually start AppFabric. I tried to open the AppFabric help option on the Start screen and was met with an error "Cannot open the file C:/Program Files/AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server///AppFabricServer.chm)
I don't know if this will help, but I had uninstalled SharePoint (without uninstalling AppFabric and SQL server) and reinstalled it. Just SharePoint (it was being stubborn). AppFabric didn't work before, and it didn't work now.
Is this normal? If not, can you uninstall AppFabric without uninstalling SharePoint?
