Hi Friends, As you know that SharePoint 2016 beta 2 has been released. I decided to make my hands dirty on this buggy version. My setup was as follow. SharePoint Box- 16 GB RAM - 120 GB HDD- Windows Server 2012 R2 SQL 2012 --- 8 GB RAM - 120 GB HDD -- Windows Server 2012 R2 I started installation with Prerequisite installer. You do not believe it gave error from first basic step. The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role The issue was setup was not able to install .NET framework 3.5. Server manager also unable to install it. I ran the following command and issue was just ran away. Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess Somehow tool was able to install IIS and its components. Later it gave error on following components vc_redist.x64 for 2015 vc_redist.x64 for 2012 I manually downloaded it form Microsoft website and finally all prerequisites installed.
