Hi Brain. That's me again :-)
this time it's the AddSourcePathToLocalIntranetZone function which is not working when I try to install to service pack 1 from the updates folder or one of the prerequisites files 'WcfDataServices.exe'. There are several ways to disable this. I tried some of them but the the only one which worked is this one:
Disabling the prompt on the INTERNET zone (zone 3) for "Launching Applications and Unsafe Files".
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3' -Name 1806 -Value 0

of course this is not safe and you we should not disable it in production permanently. What I do is as follow:
1. add this to the AddSourcePathToLocalIntranetZone with a value of 0
2. Create an additional function EnableIEUnsafeFilesPrompt which resets the value to 1 and call it in the Finalize-Install.
I'm using windows server 2012 R2
IE 11
IE Enhanced security is OFF.
The netbios name of server hosting share is present in the local intranet zone file://server (added by the autospinstaller script)
I think the warning pops up because the intranet zone settings are not detected correctly so the file is seen as being downloaded from the internet or an unsafe location. Like I said this is happening only for some files. the proposed fix takes care of this.
