Installing Sitecore 9.0.2 - My hiccups

Hi All,

I would like to share my installation issues while installing Sitecore 9.0.2. I would personally recommend to follow the link on Youtube.

Listed are the couple of issues you might face. I will try to separate the errors module wise or error wise and the solution to fix it.


SiteCoreInstallationFramework Module

Error : The mentioned youtube link installs version 2.0.0 module of "SiteCoreInstallationFramework". As on date 11-12-2018 i.e. today when I wrote this article version 2.0.0 is the latest module here. This version  gave me error while creating certificates. A prompt comes when you run the powershell scripts. It asks for the permission to create Non trusted certificates and when you click on 'Yes'  option of the below screen, it creates duplicate certificates and then scripts shows error of multiple thumbprints ,signer error etc..

Ceritificate screen

Solution : If you have already installed framework 2.0.0.0, you will need to uninstall the module using below command.

Uninstall-Module -Name "SitecoreInstallFramework" -AllVersions

 Install the module using the below command, it will install 1.2.0 version

Install-Module -Name "SitecoreInstallFramework" -RequiredVersion "1.2.0" -Repository "sc-powershell"

2) Error : Install-SitecoreConfiguration : Service 'Sitecore XConnect Search Indexer - sc9.xconnect-IndexWorker 

(sc9.xconnect-IndexWorker)' cannot be stopped due to the following error: Cannot stop sc9.xconnect-IndexWorker service 

on computer '. 

Solution: Windows add/ remove feature-->IIS-->World Wide Web Services. Make sure you have checked the option ASP, ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET 4.7 as shown in the below screen.
