Not able to install SharePoint 2013 pre requisites after uninstalled them

Question

I was on course of adding one new WFE sever to an existing farm, Installing pre requisites and SharePoint sever 2013 everything went well for the first attempt, But while patching the server I done some mistake and forced to un install SharePoint Server 2013 from Windows server 2012 R2. Sorry for the blooper with that I also manually uninstalled SharePoint server 2013 pre requisites via server control panel. :( Thought starting everything in fresh

Now Im in real trouble, While installing SharePoint 2013 pre requisites for the second time (Using power shell script) it showing as everything already installed and no action has taken, But I can see nothing installed in control panel and SharePoint 2013 installation getting fail as well.

Below entries was there in the log file for a thousand time.

2021-01-17 08:49:15 - Request for install time of Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role 2021-01-17 08:49:15 - Error: Failed when formatting time according to the system locale (0X57=87)

Below is the final screen shot of SharePoint product preparation tool.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Answer 1

Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.

To solve the issue, you could set the Local Policy:

• Run MMC.exe

• On the File tab, click "Add/Remove Snap-in..."

• Select Group Policy Object Editor and ADD it

• Navigate to Administrative templates >> System

• Select and edit “Specify Settings for optional component installation and component repair”

• Enable and select “Contract Windows Update directly to download repair content instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)”

• Re-run the prerequisite installation
