Installing prerequisites for SharePoint 2016
As with all previous versions of SharePoint one must install a variety of software before SharePoint itself can be installed. I’ve created the following list for my own reference but hopefully others will benefit from it too:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2
- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client
- Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
- Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1
- Windows Server AppFabric 1.1
- Cumulative Update 7 (KB3092423) for Microsoft AppFabric
- Microsoft Windows Identity Extensions
- Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client
- Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.6
- Update KB2898850 for Microsoft .NET Framework
- Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2012
- Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2015
Note: The IIS role and the Windows Identity Foundation feature must be installed first!
