How to get SharePoint 2013 to install on Server 2012R2 DataCenter?

  • 772

I'm hung up on a "Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role." error (as shown in the install log).

So far, I've run across a couple supposed fixes (they don't work for me). Microsoft's site lists a KB that needs to be installed (and also some PowerShell to run). Other sites have a policy modification to get updates from MS directly (bypassing WSUS). Unfortunately, none of these seem to make any difference. What else should I try?

    Nothing. Oh man. Server 2012 R2 is not on the compatibility list for Sharepoint 2013.

    Sp1 for Sharpeoint 2013, coming "early 2014" is supposed to fix that.

    Same with Exchange 2013.

    YOu should NOT install server software without reading documentation.

    Let me quote: "Currently, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not supported for installation on computers running the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system."

    Simple like that.
