One of the servers where I am installing SP2010 continues to fail when running the Prerequisite Installer.
It seems not to like the Filter Pack 2.0. I even attempted to download and install it separately but it fails with a detailed message "The installation of this package failed" and nothing shows up in the event log.

• Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role: configured successfully
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client: installed successfully
• Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB976462): installed successfully
• Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405): installed successfully
• Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 (x64): installed successfully
• Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5: installed successfully
• Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0: installation error
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET: Installation skipped
• Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime (x64): Installation skipped (optional component)
• Microsoft Server Speech Recognition Language - TELE(en-US): Installation skipped (optional component)
• SQL 2008 R2 Reporting Services SharePoint 2010 Add-in: Installation skipped (optional component)

Here is a snippet from the PrerequisiteInstaller Log:

Clear your temp files, and then re-download the 64-bit version of the filter pack from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5CD4DCD7-D3E6-4970-875E-ABA93459FBEE

Save it locally to your server, shift right-click the FilterPack64bit.exe and copy as path. Click Start --> Run, type CMD, right-click the command prompt and run as administrator.

Right-click to paste the path to FilterPack64bit.exe, and then add /log:c:\log.txt.

The command prompt should look something like:

C:\Users\Administrator>"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\FilterPack64bit.exe" /log
:c:\log.txt

Hit enter, wait for it to fail, and then go look at the log, which will have verbose information as to why it is failing.

  • The filter pack bits is inside prerequisiteinstaller folder on SharePoint 2010 server image. You don't need to download it.

  • Thanks for providing that link! The TechNet forum post about this issue only provided a link to the Filter Pack 1.0... Had a heck of a time figuring out the correct URL.

I my case the problem was with Trend Micro Realtime Scanner preventing installation. Stopping the service allowed the install to complete.
