When installing and configuring Workflow Manager 1.0 for Sharepoint 2013 Foundation, I got this error when kicking off the execution via the GUI (which really just runs a bunch of PowerShell scripts):
Windows Fabric configuration started. Running Windows Fabric deployment. Program C:\Program Files\Windows Fabric\bin\Fabric\Fabric.Code.1.0\FabricDeployer.exe exited with error: Windows Fabric deployment failed. DeploymentValidator: warning: The Fabric Data Collection Agent is disabled for this deployment. None of the declared nodes is for the current machine.
Many sites recommend removing all references to localhost/127.0.0.1 from your HOSTS file, but my HOSTS file is empty. How do I resolve this?
My problem was that the cluster manifest file generated by Windows Fabric was cloned from another VM, and the nodes in it were not correct.
