Sharepoint russian error

 

Funny surprise today as I was repairing a Sharepoint 2013 installation.

Instead of insulting me in proper plain english, the server started to output some russian sentences as shown in the picture below:

Sharepoint 2013 Russian Error Message

Google Translate was of no help, but looking at the MSI Error code revealed the issue: the ISO image that was mounted during installation was no longer present.

Mounting the ISO image help the message to vanish.
