I'm trying to install the prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 (on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1)
Like many others, I'm having troubles installing SP 2013 because the AppFabric part of the prerequisites is not installing. Unlike others, there is really no error in the log. After it starts installing appfabric, it shows the finish window, with AppFabric: installation error, and reboots machine.
I have tried:
Altering and then removing the PSModulePath environment variable.
Downloading and running the AppFabric setup using the command window with the appropriate parameters (/i CacheClient,CachingService,CacheAdmin /gac). Also started up the prerequisite installer from the command line specifying the appfabric setup file.
AppFabric is not and was not installed prior to installation. (it is not available to uninstall). WIndows update is on, and I have applied all available updates.
Here are the relevant lines from the log:
