I had to rebuild my SharePoint VM and since it was virtualized no problem I thought as I’ve done this hundreds of times without problems. So reverted my vm to the bare bones VM and re-ran the Autospinstaller but to my surprise I had the following error message.
So I attempted to manually run the SharePoint Pre-requisite but that also failed so I was stuck so my next attempt was to download ALL of the prerequisites and install them before running the AutoSPInstaller again. So I referenced this url for all of the SharePoint 2013 prerequisites. To my surprise when I tried to download the Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64) from the list my IE browser returned an error message because it couldn’t reach download the file but I do have internet access. Weird!. This explains why the pre-requisite installer failed.
Solution: I went to IE Options and then clicked on Security tab > Trusted Sites and/or Local Internet > Custom Level > click on Reset button > OK
Then go back to the list of prerequisites and try to download the Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64) again. If successfully then re-run the SharePoint pre-requisites installer. I had to try this setting in IE several times. May have to switch from the Trusted sites and Local Internet. Not sure why.
