I search on google and found the solution of this. When I was trying to install the AppFabric before that i have installed SQL Server. Therefore in the Environment Variable a variable with the name PSModulePath was having SQL Server path inside it.

So I just remove that path and try to install AppFabric again and the problem was solved.

It is now installed.

This error happend because you've deleted the installtion folder. On disk C that folder name is GUID key in this form c:/75f74225aca163c57a7737aa59a4. You have to rerun WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.msi and before pressing next on the first screen, see the installation path and copy the temporal folder that contain the missing files that has been generated the error code : 1603.

You can see the line before throw the error in you log file

Process.Start: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /quiet /norestart /i "c:\338f6462408072c851cf3b1e\Packages\AppFabric-1.1-for-Windows-Server-64.msi" ADDDEFAULT=Worker,WorkerAdmin,CacheClient,Setup /l*vx "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log" LOGFILE="C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server" LANGID=en-US

Then remove the words Process.Start: and /quiet and execute the command as administrator in MSDOS

C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /norestart /i "c:\338f6462408072c851cf3b1e\Packages\AppFabric-1.1-for-Windows-Server-64.msi" ADDDEFAULT=Worker,WorkerAdmin,CacheClient,Setup /l*vx "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log" LOGFILE="C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\AppServerSetup1_1_CustomActions(2013-03-05 18-06-39).log" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server" LANGID=en-US

The installer will be go to the step before the error and then ask for the missing folder, select the path of the folder that you copied to C: indicated in the first step up.

Same problem, the PSModulePath had the SQL Server 2012 path since I had already installed it, but the path had a trailing double quote ("), which broke any scripts that used the PSModulePath variable.

In the error trace above, it says:-

V1.0 is not installed

It looks like you are installing an upgrade package. So, shouldn't you install 1.0 first then 1.1?
