Failed to Create Development Service Fabric Cluster on Windows Server 2016 Standard - azure-service-fabric

Question

I am attempting to create a local development (unsecured) Service Fabric Cluster on Windows Server 2016 Standard. I have followed the instructions found in this article. However, I'm getting a rather interesting error and cannot find anything to help me resolve this.

Has anyone encountered this error before and fixed it? How is this error resolved?
Side Note: After receiving this error I ran the CleanFabric PowerShell script and removed all the Service Fabric files from the server and tried running the installation again with the same error message.
In addition, there are no Service Fabric SDKs installed on the machine (the ones you'd use on a local development machine). The reason for this is due to the official prerequisites stated by Microsoft shown below.
Prerequisites for each machine that you want to add to the cluster:
1. A minimum of 16 GB of RAM is recommended.
2. A minimum of 40 of GB available disk space is recommended.
3. A 4 core or greater CPU is recommended.
4. Connectivity to a secure network or networks for all machines.
5. Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 (you need to
have KB2858668 installed).
6. .NET Framework 4.5.1 or higher, full install.
7. Windows PowerShell 3.0. The RemoteRegistry service should be running on all the machines.
The cluster administrator deploying and configuring the cluster must have administrator privileges on each of the machines. You cannot install Service Fabric on a domain controller.
I cannot help but feel there is something obvious missing but I've followed the docs very closely so this is rather perplexing.

Answer 1

Service Fabric drivers have a signing issue which is preventing them from being installed on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 Anniversary edition. Please wait for the next version or try with version 5.2.
