Workflow Manager Offline Installation Dowloading Error

Question

I am trying to install Workflow Manager on one of our SharePoint server where Internet is not available. So as part of Offline Installation I am downloading the WPI 5.1 bits and Workflow Manager 1.0 CU2 on a different machine, However while downloading its required setup files, I am getting below Error.

To use the new offline feed, please run the following from the command line:

Done !

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with offline installation as the download never got completed.

You can try this.

1. Run the WPI setup on the machine having internet and select Workflow Manager 1.0 Refresh (CU2) to install
2. It will download WFM and all of its components in below directory

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\installers 3. Copy the missing files from above path to the download directory of your offline installation. 4. Now copy all offline media, put it in the server where the installation is required and then try the offline installation commands. (follow Julie's suggested article)

In case that do not work, the second possible way could be to install all the prerequisites manually one by one and run the Workflow Manager installation from PowerShell.

Check this article on manual installation of Workflow Manager.

Hope it will help.

Answer 2

I could reproduce your issue when install the ServiceBus and WorkflowManagerRefresh offline in this article:

We suggest you open a ticket from Microsoft to check if the file link has been changed and caused it could not be found while downloaded.
