Installing and configuring SharePoint 2010

Installing and configuring SharePoint 2010
The following steps show how to install SharePoint 2010 on VMware workstation 7.0. Host computer used during the preparation of this walk-through was a Vista (32-bit) machine and guest machine used was VMware workstation 7.0 with Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (64-bit).
Preparing your machine
Is your machine 64-bit compatible? Download following standalone utility from vmware.com that will check if your processor is 64-bit compatible or not:
http://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-guest64check-6.0.0-45731.exe
If your machine is 64-bit compatible then second step is to confirm whether Virtualization Technology (VT) is enabled or not. To enable 64-bit support for virtual machines in VMware, you must enable Virtualization Technology (VT). VT provides greater flexibility and maximum system utilization. With VT, your machine will make the most of its underlying hardware. You can enable VT in the BIOS by going to advanced processor features and enabling Intel Virtualization Technology. The VT setting is locked at power on. After enabling VT in BIOS, save changes to the BIOS settings and then turn off power to the system. Your changes take effect when the system is turned on again. Simply rebooting the system without turning it off will not enable VT. This is called as power cycling the system.

It is not as easy as it seems. Finding correct links to download the pre-requisite software is the first hurdle. Then the ordering in which the software has to be installed is the second hurdle. What hotfixes are required and where to download them from is another issue. If you get stuck in any of the steps above, and need help, I would suggest you download the following user guide that explains each of the above steps in detail and has screenshots to help you complete the steps easily.
http://sharepoint2007tips.com/sharepoint2010book.aspx
The guide consists of 100+ pages and covers everything you need to know about the SharePoint 2010 installation.
Look at the following questions to figure out if you need this guide or not:
1. How will you know if your machine is 64-bit compatible and ready for SharePoint 2010 installation?
2. If you are running 32 bit OS on your system, how will you install 64 bit SharePoint 2010 software?
3. If you don’t have hyper-V or don’t want to use hyper-V, what are your other options?
4. From where can you download VMware version that is required for SP 2010 installation?
5. How to prepare your machine for SharePoint 2010 installation? How to enable VT in BIOS? What to do if changes in BIOS do not take effect, etc?
6. What software pre-requisites to install and in what order?

InfoPath fails after applying SP
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Service packs fix lots of issues in the installations but sometimes they also create problems. It becomes a pain to track down the source of the problem if you have a huge setup. A user yesterday reported the following problem after he applied SP2 on the server running InfoPath:
The format of the Canary has been tampered with for form xxxxxx by the end user.
Exception message: The security validation for this form is invalid.
Some users also reported this problem when they installed SP1. Exact cause is not known but following are some hints that can resolve the issue (at least temporarily unless you get a reliable fix):
1. Replace Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.dll with the version that was working before you installed the SP.
2. Replace core.js with a newer version (worked for the user who reported this). Core.js is located in SystemDrive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC\
Visual Sourcesafe 2005 setup fails
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009Scenario: To work on an old project, I need to setup SourceSafe 2005 on a machine that already has .NET Framework 3.5 installed. I start the installation but mistakenly unplug the power cable and system shuts down. Next time I start the installation, I get “Setup failed” error message. Setup fails because it cannot find Microsoft Document Explorer 2005 installed on the system. I found following link while searching for the solution:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/e59f8083-3ebc-4b90-ae35-c4e3fcd33606
It has some good suggestions but not valid in my case. I knew something went wrong because the computer was unplugged when setup was running. If you go to “Add and Remove Programs” in Control panel, you will see .NET framework installed. In my case, there were different versions installed. From .NET 1.1 to .NET 3.5, all versions were installed. There was one instance that did not have any version number shown next to it. I removed this instance and during uninstallation, it gave message that “Installation of Microsoft Document Explorer 2005 was suspended. Do you want to continue and remove the installation” (I don’t remember the exact wording). I clicked YES and this instance was uninstalled. Next, I tried to run the setup again and this time SourceSafe was installed successfully. The reason why I am posting this is because while searching Internet for the solution, I noticed several links/posts that gave miscallaneous solutions but none mentioned uninstallation of the corrupted or incomplete installation of the .NET framework. So this is also a solution, if you have tried all other options and still cannot install SourceSafe because of Document Explorer error, simply uninstall the .NET framework and run the SourceSafe setup again. Be careful if you have Visual Studio and related programs running. Make sure you uninstall the .NET framework version that is causing the problem. In my case, it was the one without any version number.

SharePoint top 100 blogs
Saturday, September 12th, 2009Joel Oleson has recompiled list of top 100 SharePoint blogs.
My blog has gone down 20 positions. Makes sense! My blog has been down at least twice for long periods. I did not want to leave SharePointblogs.com 
and now I was seriously thinking of changing my blog because the server was down for quite some time now but Dustin changed the server right on time. Thanks Dustin! sharepointblogs.com is first love and I will continue to use it as my technical blog. The url has changed as you may have noticed. Luckily my posts are still intact.
