copied!<p>It is important to distinguish the type of installation and the <strong>operating system</strong> ( what version of windows ) your machine on which you intend to install; we assume here you decided for a <strong>Standalone</strong> installation type (to install everything on one developer workstation).</p> <p>With reference to the documentation: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint/ee554869%28v=office.14%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008</a>, the following excerpt is relevant for your question:</p> <blockquote> <p>SharePoint requires your operating system to have certain prerequisites installed before installation begins. For this reason, SharePoint includes a PrerequisiteInstalle.exe tool that installs all of these prerequisites for you. If your developer workstation is set up with the Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system, you can install SharePoint 2010 by running the PrerequisiteInstaller.exe tool (which is included with SharePoint 2010) to install the prerequisites that SharePoint needs, and then run Setup.exe. However, you cannot use PrerequisiteInstaller.exe on Windows 7 or Windows Vista.</p> </blockquote> <p>For those operating systems, you must follow the additional instructions as descibed in chapter:<strong>"Step 2: Install the Prerequisites for SharePoint 2010"</strong> Of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint/ee554869%28v=office.14%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">document</a>.</p> <p>Unfortunately, in reading the doc some steps may seem confusing, therefore it may be helpful to follow more detailed instructions such as indicated in <a href="http://blog.rafelo.com/2009/11/24/installing-sharepoint-2010-on-windows-7-gotchas/" rel="nofollow">installing sharepoint 2010 on windows 7 gotchas - blog.rafelo.com</a></p> <p>Especially about SharePoint.exe , that for many of us was nowhere to be found. </p> <p>This <strong>SharePoint.exe</strong> file is actually the single executable contained within the ISO image of the download… it could be for example: <strong>en_office_sharepoint_server_2010_beta_x64_x16-19249.exe</strong>. Depending on the build and version you downloaded, it could have a different name.</p> <blockquote> <p>Copy this file locally (do not run it), they suggest copying it to C:\SharePointFiles Given the complex name I chose to rename it to SharePoint.exe you may consider doing this as well as it makes the following steps easier. The second sub-step instructs you to run a command to extract the installation files. It shows you 2 sample commands, one of which is: c:\SharePointFiles\SharePoint /extract:c:\SharePointFiles</p> <p>Here simply replace SharePoint with the name of the executable, the command should work just fine if you’ve renamed the executable to SharePoint.exe</p> <p>Examples: c:\SharePointFiles\SharePoint.exe /extract:c:\SharePointFiles or c:\SharePointFiles\OfficeServer.exe /extract:c:\SharePointFiles or c:\SharePointFiles\en_office_sharepoint_server_2010_beta_x64_x16-19249.exe /extract:c:\SharePointFiles</p> </blockquote>
