How to Install Microsoft SharePoint 2016 Prerequisites Offline Using Power Shell

How to Install SharePoint 2016 Prerequisites Offline

SharePoint is a great solution from Microsoft. I really love working on this solution. Sometimes, it really create lot of problems while installing it on a standalone server. This problem occurred with a server where the internet was not available. I download all the requirements locally and started installing one by one. I installed all of them, here comes the problem. The AppFabric is not configured correctly so i uninstalled and installed it again, no chance. The installation was successful, configuration was successful as well. Still the installer was giving the above error.

After a little google search I found that even you have installed all the requirements one by one, the installation will not work. You have to run the prerequisite installer and install all the requirements using it. I downloaded all the files, put them in a directory. fortunately or unfortunately, that directory was created on C drive of that server. I used the elevated power shell to execute the under given command to install it so that it can use the local downloaded files to Install Microsoft SharePoint 2016 Prerequisites Offline but was unlucky.
