Steps to Fix This

There are 2 ways to work around this issue.

Method 1

  1. Download the MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta tool at: MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab
  2. After downloading, open the MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall troubleshooter and Click on “Next”.
  3. Click On “uninstalling”.
  4. It will open a list of the programs. In that you have to select “PortalIntfMsi”. If “PortalIntfMsi” is not present then select “TeamServer.msi” and Click on “Next”.
  5. Then click on “Yes, try uninstall”. After this, troubleshooting will be completed here.
  6. Then click on “Close”
  7. Try to install TeamServer again.

If this does not work or you cannot install this software in your server, then you will need to do the second method, but be aware that it is much longer and time consuming than the first.
