Installing SharePoint 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7
See this article from Microsoft for instructions : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx
1. Install this WCF hotfix (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166231)
2. Install the ADO.NET Data Services Update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to enable REST-based data services (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163524)
3. Extracting the setup.exe ISSUES.
If you can’t extract, because you get the message “the installation of this package failed”
Then, MAKE SURE you have the speech marks in the command line!! i.e.
“C:\SharePointFiles\SharePointServer.exe“ /extract:“C:\SharePointFiles“
Either get controller errors, or a message about the command line “Setup controller command-line help”
Instead amend this config file:
C:\SharePointFiles\Files\Setup\config.xml
To add the extra line at the bottom – as per the Microsoft installation guide, in the Configuration tag.
