Links to applicable software.

You can run prerequisiteinstaller.exe at a command prompt with the following options. When you run prerequisiteinstaller.exe at a command prompt, you may be asked to restart the server one or more times during the installation process. After rebooting, you should continue the prerequisite installation by running prerequisiteinstaller.exe with the /continue option.

  • /?  Display command-line options
  • /continue  This is used to tell the installer that it is continuing from a restart
  • /unattended  No user interaction

The installer installs from the file that you specify in the command-line options described in the following list. In this list, <file> signifies the file from which you want to install. If you do not specify the <file> option, the installer downloads the file from the Internet and installs it. If the option does not apply to the current operating system, it is ignored.

  • /SQLNCli:<file>  Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 Native Client from <file>
  • /PowerShell:<file>  Install Windows Management Framework 3.0 Release Candidate (RC) from <file>

Install prerequisites from a network share.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff686793(v=office.15).aspx

Download and combine the SharePoint 2013 Preview prerequisites on a file share.

To identify prerequisites

  1. Refer to Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 Preview, which lists all the required and optional software for SharePoint 2013 Preview. Additionally, this document provides the download location for each prerequisite that is available for download on the Internet.
  2. From the command prompt, navigate to the root of the SharePoint 2013 Preview installation media or folder location.
  3. At the command prompt, type the following command and then press ENTER:PrerequisiteInstaller.exe /?This displays a list of the command-line options and switches and their corresponding arguments for installing a prerequisite from the command-line.
    TipTip:
    To copy the contents of the active About window to the Clipboard, press CTRL+C.

    Verify that you have an accurate list of the required software. Compare the output from the prerequisite installer to the list of prerequisites in step 1.

  4. Download the prerequisites to a computer that has Internet access.

Option 2

  1. From the Start menu, choose Run and then type regedit to open the registry.
  2. Open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders.
  3. Check the value for “Common Startup”. This shows the directory where the startup tasks are listed.
  4. Close the registry editor without making any changes.
  5. Navigate to the startup directory, which is usually <systemdir>\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
  6. Delete the startup task by deleting “SharePointServerPreparationToolStartup_0FF1CE15-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.cmd”.

One thing of special note…I manually enabled the Web Server Role on the server so that .Net 3.5 would be installed. I then ran Windows Update again.

NOTE: Hotfixes to be installed AFTER the prerequisites.

I then installed the three hotfixes highlighted in this document: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/cc263202(v=office.15).aspx

How to fix “Add Host to Workflow Farm problem” when installing Windows Azure Workflow in SharePoint2013 Preview

Solution:

I asked the question in SharePoint StackExchange , Rajat’s help me to fix the problem .The solution for this is quite simple, instead of using the short form for your RunAs account, you should use the fully qualified name. So change administrator@YBBEST to administrator@YBBEST.COM make the problem go away as shown below.
