SharePoint 2013: Best Practices - Installing SPS 2013

Resolve Prerequisites Error

Go back to Creating a Dev Environment Install SPS 2013

First run the prerequisiteinstaller. Nowadays, during SharePoint 2013 installation, you really want your server to have an internet connection. For a dev environment, a permanent was is just as handy!
Use the wizard to install features for now.
It doesn't hurt to create a default site collection now.

Resolve Prerequisites Error

It's possible that you get an error message similar to this:
"Prerequisites keeps trying to start and failing to do so

Fails: start "Launch SharePoint preparation tool" "E:\prerequisiteinstaller.exe" /continue"

Prevent startup by going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
Delete SharePointServerPreparationToolStartup_0FF1CE14-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.cmd
