Sharepoint Services

Installing Sharepoint 2010 in Single Server Mode on Windows 7

// December 14th, 2009 // Uncategorized

So i finally got this up and running…

I used the following resource:

Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint Server

Follow it step for step. However there are a couple of prerequisites you MUST install which are listed in the above document:

All the ones listed in Step 2, Number 7 of the MSDN document above PLUS
WCF Hotfix

there a few things you should know that i never found on other blogs:

1) Do the install within your company network, otherwise you’ll get errors in the configuration which will fail on Step 2 with “Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: User cannot be found.” You have online access to the domain controller .

2)The following error:
Failed to create the configuration database.
An exception of type System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException was thrown. Additional exception information: The data is invalid.

Can be solved by:

Give Full control to NETWORK SERVICE on the folder c:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14

3) The following error:
Failed to create sample data. Exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.userProfiles.userProfileException was thrown. The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply… Increase the SendTimeout value on the binding.

Can be solved by:

Install WCF FIX: A hotfix that provides a method to support the token authentication without transport security or message encryption in WCF is available for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2) . Please note the 2008 fix also applies to Vista, while the 2008 R2 fix also applies to Windows 7.
