Update [05/26/2006]: Thanks to the rapid response from our MSCOM Web team, WSS V3 Beta 2 is now available as a separate downloading from the 2007 Office System Preview Site.

We’ve received several inquiries from people, who could not find Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2 as a separately available download on the 2007 Office System Preview Site. FYI, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 includes an integrated (i.e. cannot be separated) installation of WSS V3 Beta 2. Unfortunately, the links to the WSS V3 Beta 2 files were inadvertently omitted from the Preview Site’s download page, but it will be fixed soon. Until then, the table below contains the direct download links for the respective WSS V3 Beta files.

These links open up to Microsoft's OWA home page. The actual location is appended to the end of the URL so you just have to copy the URL that points to the .exe.

Hi

The readme included with the download of WSSv3 SDK (WSS3SDK.EXE) makes mention of SDK documentation in a format for Visual Studio 2003/2005 help viewer (WSS3SDK4VS.EXE). I can't seem to find this version of the SDK available for download. Is there a link that can be provided for this also?

Cheers
