We are trying to run the Microsoft Sharepoint 2016 products preparation tool ( prerequisiteinstaller.exe that comes with the Sharepoint 2016 iso file ( Officeserver.img )
We are doing an offline install.
We have installed all the prereqs - includiing WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe and AppFabric-KB3092423-ENU.exe
We are using serv3er 2019 (standard).
When we run the prerequisiteinstaller.exe it still says
"Windows server AppFabric: Download error" - which seems to indicate that it cannot detect that AppFabric is already installed and is trying to download it.
The log file says
2023-02-20 17:47:18 - Check whether the following prerequisite is installed:

the DWORD DCS is not present at this place in the registry. Only the following DWORDS are present
Name Data
Default - (Values not set)
DCC (1)
Worker (1)
WoderAdmin (1)
i.e. no DCS DWORD.
the log file does not say its already installed, and the next lines in the log are:
2023-02-20 17:47:18 - Check whether the following prerequisite is installed:
2023-02-20 17:47:18 - Microsoft Identity Extensions
... and then later

2023-02-20 17:47:18 - The prerequisite above is already installed
So why is the prereqinstaller still trying to download appfabric when its already installed ?
Also - we seem to have Appfabric 1.0 installed - but think we shoud be using appfabric 1.1
