Cannot install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on server 2012 R2. IIS configuration error

Hey Guys,

I'm experiencing a problem which seems to be common considering the number of posts I've found about it, but none of the provided solutions worked for me.

I'm simply trying to install SharePoint 2013 with SP1 on a Windows Server Standard 2012 R2.

I've downloaded from the MS Volume Licensing website the "SharePoint Server 2013 with SP1" ISO file :  SW_DVD5_SharePoint_Server_2013w_SP1_64Bit_English_MLF_X19-36118. So this is the slipstreamed version which is supposed to bring compatibility with 2012 R2.

As I do not have direct access to the Internet I need to perform an offline installation. I also downloaded all prerequisities. When I run prerequisiteinstaller.exe with the necessary arguments, I get the following :

(Full log file is below)

I've tried the following :

- Restarted the server multiple times
- Manually removing/adding IIS role + restart
- Running the prerequisiteinstaller.exe from the DVD or from an extracted version
- Manually installing the prerequisities
- Installed .Net 3.5 as recommended here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0b597d35-b02d-4236-894d-38efc0c7c6f6/sharepoint-2013-with-sp1-install-on-windows-server-2012-r2?forum=sharepointgeneral)

None of the worked. So I'm stuck and I must completed the installation of this before the end of the week for an important project !

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

this is the complete log file :

Thank you guys for the quick answer! Muche appreciated

I've tried all suggested solutions, but no luck :-(

- tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260 > no help and by the way the hotfix provided is not applicable for 2012 R2.

also tried "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regii -enable -i" and got this :

Microsoft (R) ASP.NET RegIIS version 4.0.30319.33440Administration utility to install and uninstall ASP.NET on the local machine.Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319.33440).This option is not supported on this version of the operating system.  Administrators should instead install/uninstall ASP.NET 4.5 with IIS8 using the "Turn Windows Features On/Off" dialog,  the Server Manager management tool, or the dism.exe command line tool.  For more details please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=216771.Finished installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319.33440).

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14582.sharepoint-2013-install-prerequisites-offline-or-manually-on-windows-server-2012-a-comprehensive-guide.aspx > is not for 2012 R2.


For the automated install script (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/DownloadInstall-SharePoint-e6df9eb8) Craig mentions that the script are not yet compatible

"SharePoint 2013 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 support coming soon
 I will be updating this script with support for SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1 installations along with support for Windows Server 2012 R2 in the near future. Thank you to everyone for the interest in my scripts - it is much appreciated! "

Have a look at the event viewer for the time period, there may be more detail about the 1062 error in there. The installer tries to run the installation in a seperate thread which hides much of the details.
September 9th, 2014 1:28pm

as nothing else worked I decide to try this fishy workaround mentionned on these forums, rename C:\Windows\System32\ServerManager.exe to C:\Windows\System32\ServerManagerCMD.exe and try again.

i did that and suddendly the SP installer says "Installation Complete"; even though the iis configuration error is still there.

I renamed ServerManagerCMD.exe back to ServerManager.exe and ran the prerequisiteinstaller.exe again and got the same "Installation Complete" message again. I suppose this is a flag kept somewhere in the registry.

When I then try to run the SharePoint setup.exe it then starts normally.

all this totally took away any confidence I may have in the stability of this farm. how can I also be sure this will be supported by Premier ?

Why is installing SharePoint is always such a pain ?

Never saw this. 

Its really strange. Can you send installer log file. I would like to check it. 

September 9th, 2014 2:35pm

Steps to fix (Installing .Net Framework 3.5):

  1. Insert the Windows Server 2012 installation image or DVD
  2. Open a command prompt window (run as Administrator) and run the following:
  3. Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\SxS /LimitAccess

Note: D:\ is a Label for CD Drive in my case where Windows Server 2012 ISO image.

In my case this error was in distributive. Just check dates of signatures in the properties of distributive file. Signatures have to be in 2014 year. If there 2012 - this version of SharePoint without SP1. Distributive without SP1 can be installed on Windows Server 2012 - not Windows Server 2012 R2.
