Installing SharePoint 2010 in Windows 7 (64 bit)
1) Install the following
update.
2) Extract the installation files from the setup using command
d:\Software\SharePoint10\SharePointServer
/extract:d\SharePointServerFiles. In my case source directory is
d:\Software\SharePoint10 and target directory is d:\
SharePointServerFiles.
3) In the target directory find the config.xml a following d:\
SharePointServerFiles \files\Setup\ and add the following line of text
in configuration node <Setting Id=”AllowWindowsClientInstall”
Value=”True”/>. Now your configuration file would be something like
below:
03 | < Setting Id = "LAUNCHEDFROMSETUPSTS" Value = "Yes" /> |
05 | < DATADIR Value = "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web ServerExtensions\14\Data" /> |
07 | < Setting Id = "SETUPCALLED" Value = "1" /> |
10 | < Logging Type = "verbose" Path = "%temp%" Template = "SharePoint Server Setup(*).log" /> |
12 | < Setting Id = "SERVERROLE" Value = "SINGLESERVER" /> |
13 | < Setting Id = "USINGUIINSTALLMODE" Value = "1" /> |
14 | < Setting Id = "SETUPTYPE" Value = "CLEAN_INSTALL" /> |
15 | < Setting Id = "SETUP_REBOOT" Value = "Never" /> |
16 | < Setting Id = "AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value = "True" /> |
4) Now, it is the time to install the prerequisite installer
files. First install filter pack in the path d:\ SharePointServerFiles
\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\ FilterPack.msi. Now install
following components:
- Microsoft Sync Framework
- SQL Server Native Client
- Windows Identity Foundation (Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu)
If you have Visual Studio 2010 installed in your machine then you may not have to install previous two components.
5) Now, turn on the windows features for IIS for the components
as shown in figure (AT LEAST, please). Type ‘optionalfeatures’ in run
and enter to open windows features.
Fig continue:
6) Now run setup.exe from ‘d:\ SharePointServerFiles’ to get
installation wizard and choose Standalone installation to install all on
one developer workstation.
7) After the end of installation you need to run the
configuration wizard. But before that you need to install some hotfix
for SQL Server. Install
SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64.
You need to request the hotfix and Microsoft will send you in email the
link and password that required for extraction. Note that you must
install this hotfix to avoid the exception while configuration wizard is
creating configuration database.
8) Now, you can run your configuration wizard to configure
SharePoint in your machine. Don’t panic; it takes time. Good luck.
Issues
1. I can open the Central Administrator site but links are not
enabled in Central Administration -> Application Management ->
Manage Web Applications. You cannot create new web application and
extend existing one.
Sol: Make sure you have Windows Identity Foundation installed. Get it from
here.
Now do not directly open the central admin site but first open
Internet Explorer as administrator and open central admin page. Now, if
still it is not working, you would like to use 64-bit IE (Same happened
in my case). Furthermore, you can disable UAC to enable link but it is
not good practice to disable UAC just for SharePoint.
2. Exception in Database Configuration step: An exception oftype
Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional
exception information: Failed to call GetTypes on assembly
Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c. Could not load file or assembly
‘System.Web.DataVisualition, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’ or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.
Sol: The reason of this exception is the configuration doesn’t find the Chart Controls.
Download it and install and re-run the configuration.
