Jilakara Hemalatha 3,365 Reputation points Microsoft External Staff Moderator2025-10-10T19:24:24.8766667+00:00 Thank you for sharing the details regarding the Service Fabric Runtime installation issue on your Windows machine.
Based on the logs and the behavior described, the installation failure is commonly related to environment configuration issues, specifically:
1.The Service Fabric Runtime installer requires Windows PowerShell 5.x; PowerShell 7 or later is not supported. Verify your version with:
2.Most likely the issue is caused by something missing in your PATH environment variable. Please check and add these to your PATH and see if it resolves your issue:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
3.Clean up the below folder before trying this:
4.Confirm that the following registry paths exist on your machine
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Service Fabric HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Service Fabric- Please check the error logs from event viewer related to this:
Actually, I have reproduced the issue, and it was successful on my machine.
Hope this helps! If the issue still persists after verifying these configurations, please share the updated logs or error output so we can proceed with deeper investigation.
