I have installed all the prerequisites for installing SharePoint 2013 but during installation of AppFabric for windows server, it is showing an error as "The tool was unable to install Windows Server AppFabric". I tried using Microsoft web platform Installer and it gets installed successfully installed but when i again run the prerequisites for SharePoint 2013, same error is thrown and prerequisites installation stopped. I also tried to install it offline by downloading the setup of AppFabric for windows server through Microsoft site but no luck....

Any help will be appreciated

after reading the log file i found this command which i manually executed in command prompt with some modifications and its done!!!

Process.Start: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /quiet /norestart /i "c:\338f6462408072c851cf3b1e\Packages\AppFabric-1.1-for-Windows-Server-

64.msi" ADDDEFAULT=Worker,WorkerAdmin,CacheClient,Setup /l*vx "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1(2013-03-05

18-06-39).log" LOGFILE="C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log"

INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server" LANGID=en-US

Then remove the words Process.Start: and /quiet and execute the command as administrator in MSDOS

C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /norestart /i "c:\338f6462408072c851cf3b1e\Packages\AppFabric-1.1-for-Windows-Server-64.msi"

ADDDEFAULT=Worker,WorkerAdmin,CacheClient,Setup /l*vx "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1(2013-03-05 18-06-

39).log" LOGFILE="C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log" INSTALLDIR="C:

\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server" LANGID=en-US
