Not able to complete an installation of workflow manager 1.0

Question

I'm currently trying to install workflow manager 1.0 on a virtual machine Windows Server 2012 hosted in Azure.

SharePoint 2013 is running fine on this machine (I have two others VM: DC and SQL server).

I start Web Platform installer and select Workflow Manager. The download is ok but the installation seems to be frozen at the first step. Nothing happens after 3 hours.

I have also tried the offline installation but same problem, here is what appears in the command line window since 2 hours:

Starting Installation
Started downloading products...
Started downloading: 'Workflow Client 1.0'
Started installing Products...
Downloaded: 'Workflow Client 1.0'
Started installing: 'IIS: Management Service'
Started downloading: 'Microsoft Windows Fabric V1 RTM'
Downloaded: 'Microsoft Windows Fabric V1 RTM'
Started downloading: 'Service Bus 1.0'
Downloaded: 'Service Bus 1.0'
Started downloading: 'Workflow Manager 1.0'
Downloaded: 'Workflow Manager 1.0'
 ...

I do the installation Under administrator account...

Do you have an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to install workflow manager 1.0.

Please make sure you install Workflow Manger correctly. You can refer to: Install and configure workflow for SharePoint Server 2013

In addition, please check the hosts file on the machine on which installation is being performed. If there are any loopback entries to a localhost IP in the hosts file, comment or remove them temporarily and retry configuration.
