Install and Download SharePoint 2013 prerequisites offline (manually)

This article applies in a situation when you don’t have internet access in your SharePoint server.

I have placed all the direct download links for the installers you might need.

This article assumes you are having a new fresh installation of windows server 2008 R2 SP1

If you tried to run the installer , The following should be installed (but you cant install them directly from here since you don’t have internet)

in this case  you can download and install SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites offline and run them manually as below:

I have placed what needs to be installed on a clean Window server 2008 R2 SP1 , you should not need more than this:

Click the each prerequisite it will redirect you to the page where the software need to Download.

Prerequisite:

1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
2. Windows Management Framework 3.0
3. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
4. Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
5. Windows Identity Extensions
6. Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
7. Windows Server AppFabric
8. Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client
9. Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
10. Cumulative Update Package 1 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server (KB2671763)

Once you downloaded all the above mentioned prerequisites, Install the .Net Framework 4.5 and Windows Management Framework 3.0 Manually.

Yes you can install all the above prerequisites manually except AppFabric. If you are installing manually it required do some configuration. That is not required for SharePoint.

So once the First 2 prerequisites installed successfully now you need to follow the below simple steps.

My SharePoint 2013 software dump is available in the following path for an example.D:\Software\split\SharePoint\.

Place the downloaded software to prerequisiteInstallerFiles folder which present inside the SharePoint dump.

Then open the Windows PowerShell with elevated permission (Run As Administrator).

Execute the below powershell command. It will install all the softwares including appfabric without an issue.

$SharePoint2013Path = "D:\Software\split\SharePoint\"

Start-Process "$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstaller.exe" –ArgumentList "/SQLNCli:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\sqlncli.msi /IDFX:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu /IDFX11:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi /Sync:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\Synchronization.msi /AppFabric:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe /KB2671763:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\AppFabric1.1-RTM-KB2671763-x64-ENU.exe /MSIPCClient:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\setup_msipc_x64.msi /WCFDataServices:$SharePoint2013Path\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\WcfDataServices.exe"
