I search on google and found the solution of this. When I was trying to install the AppFabric before that i have installed SQL Server. Therefore in the Environment Variable a variable with the name PSModulePath was having SQL Server path inside it.

So I just remove that path and try to install AppFabric again and the problem was solved.

It is now installed.
