=======

There are chances that other applications might be referencing the same variable and may fail if it is deleted. This is what we can do if solution 1 does not help. Remove the PSModulePath entry from the 'Environment Variables' and re-run the installer. Once it completes successfully, ensure that the 'PSModulePath' entry looks the same as mentioned in solution 1.

Follow these steps for installing AppFabric for Windows Server correctly

1.Uninstall the Appfabric for Windows Server from Control Panel -> Programs and Features page
2.Download the individual requirements to a network location or a local folder
3.Install prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 manually

- From the Start menu, open the Command Prompt window using the Run as administrator option.
- Navigate to the root of the SharePoint 2013 installation media or folder location
- Type the prerequisite program switch and corresponding argument for the program that you want to install, and then press ENTER. For example:


if we have to install AppFabric for Windows Server from a local source, we can run the following command:

PrerequisiteInstaller.exe /AppFabric:

This will kick off the prerequisite installer wizard which will then use the installation file stored locally on the machine as specified in the command-line to install Windows Server AppFabric. We can also install more than one prerequisite by using different switches with the PrerequisiteInstaller.exe command to install multiple components and specifying the installation path in the command line window. For example:

PrerequisiteInstaller.exe /AppFabric:  /IDFX11:

This command will install Appfabric and Windows Identity Foundation

4.Run the following command:

PrerequisiteInstaller.exe /AppFabric: /IDFX11:"\Microsoft Identity Extensions.msi" /MSIPCClient:"\msipc.msi"  /WCFDataServices:"\WcfDataServices.exe" /KB2671763:"\AppFabric1.1-RTM-KB2671763-x64-ENU.exe

where "" signifies the file location from where you want to install. If you do not specify the option, the installer downloads the file from the Internet and installs it.
