I am trying to configure Workflow Manager with SharePoint 2013 on a Windows 2012 Server R2. I am following article https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/31477.installing-workflow-manager-offline.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0. When I try to download Service Bus 1.0 then I get following error.

Some operations failed, see the detailed error messages for more information:
Download of product 'ServiceBus failed. Downloaded file failed signature verification and may have been tampered with
To use the new offline feed, please run the following from the command line:

Same is the result, when I try installing it using a server with internet access.

When I install Workflow Manager Refresh (CU2) using online installer then Service bus 1.1 (not service bus 1.0) is installed successfully. When I rung Configuration wizard then following error occurs.

Then installed CU5 for workflow manager 1.0 but the result is same. Any help in this regard will be a blessing for me. Thanks and Regards,

    Hi @muhammad masood
    According to the error: System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Change the alias to a valid name. The issue apparently was naming convention that you used for the for the user account workflow manager configuration.

    If you used useraccount@AD instead of useraccount @**.com, then all worked fine. Or it may be due to the language of the SQL Server, I find a case here:
