Problem
You receive error "The tool was unable to install the Web Server (IIS) Role" message when installing SharePoint 2019 prerequisites. Before starting with the actual setup, there are a bunch of pre-requisites which are required.
Reason
This may happen if the Windows server on which SharePoint installation is going on, is not connected to the internet. In such case, the tool may not be able to download the required prerequisites before initiating the installation. Ensure that the server is connected to the network and internet is available.
How to fix ?
- Connect the server to internet and retry installation.
- If problem is not resolved, use ISO file or DVD to install the prerequisites.
- Use PowerShell command Install-WindowsFeature to install required features offline.
- Reboot Server and use wizard for installation.
