Error when installing AppFabric 1.1 on Server 2012 64bit

Question

I am trying to install AppFabric 1.1 on 64bit Windows Server 2012 R2.

All updates have been installed and updates are turned ON
.NET Framework 4.0 is installed
.NET Framework 3.5 is installed
IIS is installed
Windows Powershell 3.0 should already be included in Server 2012

I am getting the following error:

I have tried this solution but no success: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11205927/appfabric-installation-failed-because-installer-msi-returned-with-error-code-1

My system enviroment variable PSModulesPath has this value: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

I have also followed this link with no success: http://jefferytay.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/installing-appfabric-on-windows-server-2012/

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Resolution:

Deleted the groups AS_Observers and AS_Administrators (if they are there), and then installation succeeded.

Good day.

This was awesome. I found so many links to deleting the " in the environment variable(which did not work). I did this and it installed like a champ! – Mike Sep 22 '14 at 18:22
