SharePoint Foundation 2010 on Windows 7

i 7 Votes This MSDN article describes in detail how to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 for development purposes on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. The purpose of this post is to focus on the SharePoint installation on Window 7 only and clear out all the details for the other operating systems. 1. Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 x64 for free. Note that there is no x86 version of SharePoint Server, so dont bother setting it up if you have a 32-bit machine. 2. Create a new folder C:\SharePointFiles and copy SharePointFoundation.exe to it. 3. Start command prompt, change directory to C:\SharePointFiles and run the following command to extract the SharePointFoundation.exe to C:\SharePointFiles SharePointFoundation.exe /extract:C:\SharePointFiles 4. Open C:\SharePointFiles\files\Setup\config.xml, add a new <Setting> tag under the <Configuration> element, then save the file. Make sure you copy the below element as is since all of the text in the configuration file is case-sensitive. <Setting Id=AllowWindowsClientInstall Value=True/> 5. Install the following Prerequisites: Microsoft FilterPack 2.0: C:\SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi Microsoft Sync Framework: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=141237 SQL Server Native Client: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=123718 Windows Identity Foundation: http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/7/2/D72FD74769B6-40B7-875B-C2B40A6B2BDD/Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu WCF Hotfix (KB971831): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166231 ADO.NET Data Services Update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to enable REST-based data services: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/3/C/13CBF47A-15D0-4237-ABFCED6E3E3A6520/Windows6.1-KB976127-v6-x64.msu 6.

Run Setup.exe under C:\SharePointFiles Select standalone (Windows 7 cant be used for production deployments of SharePoint 2010 and its recommended that you use Standalone only) After the installation is complete, you will be prompted to start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.

9. After a SharePoint solution (.wsp file) is deployed, it recycles the application pool. To improve the initial page load times, set the optimizeCompilations property of the <compilation> tag in your web.config file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config) to true. <compilation optimizeCompilations=true>

SharePoint Designer 2010 is also free and can help you better design your SharePoint site(s). You can download it here.

Alessandro December 21st, 2010 REPLY QUOTE Hi guys, Ill use Sharepoint in my company (~20 users) to act like a ECM, just for document repository, some permission roles, etc. I have a Quad-core PC with 4 GB RAM and Win7 64-bits installed. JIRA applications are already installed on this machine. Can I also install the Sharepoint Foundation 2010 for production in this machine, just for 20 users??? My question is, will I have performance issues??? Thank you. 0 0 i Rate This 7. Ali BaderEddin December 23rd, 2010 REPLY QUOTE 2012/11/14

Alessandro, I dont have an answer to your question. That depends on how much traffic the 20 users put on the site. I would recommend having 8GB RAM on that machine given that there will be multiple IIS, SQL server, SharePoint timer service and User Code service processes running on that machine. Add to that the JIRA applications that you have, which I have no clue how much memory theyd consume. 0 0 i Rate This 8.

Was really useful and worked fine for me. You need to watch out if you copyand-paste the XML line because the quote marks appear as ascii #148. 0 0 i Rate This 10.

The issue is in this blog in the opening quote for attribute is instead of .
