The SharePoint 2013 Forgotten Prerequisites

The SharePoint 2013 installation experience lovingly includes a Prerequisite installer that installs a bunch of, well, prerequisite files for SharePoint 2013. You need to run this before you can install SharePoint 2013 on a server. The Prereq installer does an admirable job, but it doesn’t do the job 100%. Depending on which OS you’re using, Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012, you may need up to three additional patches to have a truly content SharePoint 2013 server. Here are the list of additional patches:

KB 2554876 - The SharePoint parsing process crashes in Windows Server 2008 R2

KB 2708075 - FIX: IIS 7.5 configurations are not updated when you use the ServerManager class to commit configuration changes in Windows 2008 R2

KB 2759112 - A hotfix is available for the .NET Framework 4.5 that resolves an ASP.NET race condition issue in Windows Server 2008 R2Download

KB 2765317 - A hotfix is available for the .NET Framework 4.5 that resolves an ASP.NET race condition issue in Windows Server 2012Download

If you try to install a patch it says it’s already installed, or you don’t need it, that’s okay. We went through this same thing with SharePoint 2010 and eventually all the necessary patches dribbled out in Windows Update. Also, if you have already installed SharePoint 2013 it’s safe to install these after the fact.

I got this list of patches from TechNet in the Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 document.

Enjoy,

Pre-Requisite Installer

Would you recommend integrating these into the prerequisite installer?

Server 2012 R2

Since 2012 R2 is now supported, are there additional pre-reqs, or are they the same as 2012?

Re: Server 2012 R2

The prereqs are different. That's why you can't slipstream SP1 into an RTM install of SharePoint 2013 and have it work on Windows 2012 R2. Slipstreaming doesn't update the Prereqinstaller.exe file to reflect the new prereqs. I have recently tried to install the Windows 2012 forgotten prereq on Windows 2012 R2 and it told me it was not applicable to my system.
