    Does the account you're logged in as belong to the "Local Administrators" group Awen?

    Have you tried adding the IIS Role via "Server Manager" > "Roles"

    I am facing the same issue..I have tried following things,

    1.Added IIS Roles

    2. Run aspnet_regii -enable -i

    2. Install Windows Features for SharePoint manually using Powershell( as suggested in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260)

    But still it's giving the same error.

    Any clues?

    Create two roles one for "Application server" and "Web server (IIS)" in Server manager.

    Below are the links for creation in case of windows server 2012-

    Hi,

    This issue has been addressed by following knowledge based article

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260

    There are three or four sections to this document, for me following section did the trick.

    "

    1. Offline method: Server is not connected to the Internet

      To install the Roles and Features that are required by SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012 in an offline environment, you must have access to the Windows Server 2012 installation media. You can then run the same Windows PowerShell commands that you used in Method 2, but you must use the -source parameter to specify the location of the required files on the installation media.

      For example, assume that you mounted the Windows Server 2012 installation media (ISO) to drive D of the server. Then, the path to provide for the -source parameter is as follows:
      D:\sources\sxs

      Note Be aware that you can also copy the files locally or specify a UNC path where the installation files are stored.

      Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the SharePoint server (that is, Run as Administrator), and execute the following commands:
      Import-Module ServerManager
      Add-WindowsFeature NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45,NET-WCF-TCP-Activation45,NET-WCF-Pipe-Activation45
      Add-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Features,Web-Server,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-App-Dev,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Health,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Log-Libraries,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Http-Tracing,Web-Security,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,Application-Server,AS-Web-Support,AS-TCP-Port-Sharing,AS-WAS-Support, AS-HTTP-Activation,AS-TCP-Activation,AS-Named-Pipes,AS-Net-Framework,WAS,WAS-Process-Model,WAS-NET-Environment,WAS-Config-APIs,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Windows-Identity-Foundation,Server-Media-Foundation,Xps-Viewer <var>-Source D:\Sources\sxs</var>

      Your server will require a restart after you run this Windows PowerShell code.
    2. Install the other prerequisites that are required by SharePoint 2013.
    3. Run the Products Preparation Tool - PrerequisiteInstaller.exe again. "

    After hours spent trying to figure this out, I tracked it down to the prereq installer and SharePoint not installing due to systemmangercmd.exe not being present in the system32 folder and thus not being able to run the step for the Roles.

    The blog post here will show you how to get the missing files and where to upload them. You will probably need to modify the folder security on the System32 to modify and add folders.

    http://danielcai.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/install-crm-2011-on-windows-server-8.html

    Once the file was in place both prereq installer and full installer worked correctly.

    The option to make a copy and then rename the file is a much better solution than simply renaming the file.  This will ensure that anything else looking for the old version can find it (since it's an exe file and not a DLL).

    To solve the issue I set the following Local Policy:

    1. – Windows Start

    2. – run MMC

    3. – Click File, Add/Remove Snap-in…

    4. – Select Group Policy Object Editor and ADD it

    5. – Navigate to Administrative templates / System

    6. – Select and edit “Specify Settings for optional component installation and component repair”

    7. – Enable and select “Contract Windows Update directly to download repair content instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)”

    Hi! This one helped, I think along with other tasks I made according to list above. I did:

    1. Powershell feauture online installation,

    2. Permissions set on system32 folder

    3. Finally, when nothing worked, I renamed servermanager.exe to servermanagercmd.exe

    After that it worked like a charm!

    DON'T FORGET to rename this file back from servermanagercmd.exe to servermanager.exe! Because after restart you will see error saying that server manager link is not available, and setup of sharepoint will start again (no harm though, it will finish witn note that nothing requires to update).

    BR,

    I was able to copy the file, paste onto my desktop, rename, and paste back into system32.  It worked after that.  Does anybody have advice on how to give oneself permission?  I am also logged in as root system administrator and unable to change permissions so I can actually delete/change the original file.

    If you encounter the error on server 2012 R2, the solution is simple.

    1. Browse to C:\Windows\System32

    2. Make a copy of the file ServerManager.exe in the same folder i.e. copy paste the file to create say ServerManager-Copy.exe

    3. rename ServerManager-Copy.exe to ServerManagerCMD.exe

    Run the SP2013 pre-requisite installer again and it should now run without issues :)
