Just like to add:

If you get a lot of errors when creating the web application or site collections you need to increase the http daemon [IIS] time out settings from 120 seconds to 600 seconds. This tends to cure the problem. :o)

Hey Martin,
Quick Question..... Is R2 a requirement for this build?

Bob Fox

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

MikeWalshHelsinki — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 10:22:59 GMT

My thought entirely, Bob.

It's certainly not a requirement for installing this build of WSS v3 which installs perfectly well on Win 2003 Server Standard +SP1 and I don't see why it should be a requirement for MOSS 2007.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:15:30 GMT

All, Windows 2003 R2 is not a requirement for MOSS 2007, it will run just fine on Windows 2003 RTM SP1. The only reason I suggested R2 is because it is the latest version. I hope this clarifys.

MikeW2 — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 17:41:04 GMT

Unless I'm mistaken the text was

There are several things that you must do ... Install Windows 2003 R2

Note "must" and originally no Windows 2003 Server in brackets ...

slightly more than "suggested", I'd say.

All of the public information regarding release dates is on the public Office Preview site which is at http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx. If you wish to register for Beta2, you can do at this site and by doing so, you'll be kept up-to-date with beta announcements at they come out - hope this helps.

1) I wasn't too keen on having to use two VM's in order to have one be the DC and the other SP, so I went ahead and tried to install without the SP-VM being in a domain and it worked fine. Why do you think that it has to be in a domain?
2) What you refer to as Core Services seems to have been renamed to Shared Services - hence the SSP acronym.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 17:17:11 GMT

Thanks for your comments.

To answer point 1, you will be able to install MOSS 2007 B1TR on a DC but search and a few other things will not work in the current release. If you want a known and supported setup, then you have to use 2 VMs (I feel you pain! :) )

To answer point 2, I just checked and you are right - where I've refered to Core Services, should read Shared Services

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Jørn Cornelius Olsen — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 17:11:09 GMT

About 1) again: I did _not_ install a Domain Controller (DC) on the machine. It was just an ordinary VM without any domain associations.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 10:18:07 GMT

OK, sorry - I miss-read your comment. Installing MOSS in a workgroup is un-supported. However, I'm not sure what breaks if you do run it in a workgroup - sorry. My advice if you want a stable and known configuration is to run it in a domain with a seperate DC.

Andy May — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 15:29:09 GMT

Thanks for this set - very useful. One question - when I get to the point of configuring the services I only seem to get Central Admin, WSS Administration, WSS Incoming Email, WSS Search Service and WSS Web Application. The "Document Conversions Load Balancer" and "Excel Calculation Services" are conspicuous by their absense. Do these derive from other components I haven't installed?

Andy

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 15:37:48 GMT

It sounds like you have only got WSS installed and not MOSS. If both are instaled, you should see 9 services on the 'services on server' screen. Double check your installation ISO image, the correct one is called OfficeServerEN.iso.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Andy May — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 15:47:13 GMT

That would be it - I rather foolishly assumed that something called Sharepoint_setupEN would actually set up Sharepoint (rather than WSS...)

If only WSS had never been called anything to do with Sharepoint... :)

Bruno Erni — Tue, 02 May 2006 10:27:08 GMT

Why exaclty is changing the SID a bad idea? Here's what I'm planning to do: I would like to distribute VM images of SQL05/SPS07 servers (single server environment) for development purposes. Tests have shown that such a system can be duplicated using sysprep and later renamed with the new stsadm command renameserver. The site on the renamed server seems to be working all right. There are however 3 event log entries (2 App log, 1 Security log). The "Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search" service seems to have a problem with the renaming. The assigned indexer in the MSSConfiguration table is still set to the old server name. I hope this is due to the fact that SPS is still in beta.

What do you think whould be the recommended way to make multiple instances of a SPS07/SQL05 single server environment? We really would like to avoid building each system from scratch.

Thanks, Bruno

Nuz — Thu, 04 May 2006 15:38:34 GMT

Hi,
Wondering if you could help me? My configuration is such, windows 2003 server standard, sql 2005 standard (with all options installed) and NOT connected to any domain(just the regular workgroup). I am using the administrator login throughout the installs. However, when I start installing the office server the install hangs on step 2 of 9 (data configuration) step and will not move further. So after several hours, I cancel out of it and then do a repair on the install using the same office server 2007 cd and it seems to repair without complaints and all functions SEEM to be there. Any tips on why its hanging on step 2 of 9? and also once i did the repair AM I missing some parts of the install?
Thanks,
Nuz

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Mon, 08 May 2006 10:43:23 GMT

Just catching up on blog comments here. So I'll try to address all the recent unanswered ones in this post

1) Tuesday, May 02, 2006 3:27 AM by Bruno Erni
It is not so much changing the SID that is the bad idea, it is using the 'newsid.exe' tool. Clearly Newsid does not change everything it should do and working on machine that have been used with NewSid.exe is known to cause problems. I think the safest way to do multple servers today is to simply do multiple builds.

2) Thursday, May 04, 2006 8:38 AM by Nuz
Your server has to be in a domain, and will not work if it is in a workgroup. I'm not sure why the repair has fixed your problem, but you may find that there are other problems further down the track. If you want a known and recomended configuration, my advice is to install your server as member server of a domain.

3) Monday, May 08, 2006 2:48 AM by RJ
Getting stuck on the configuration wizard normally indicates a problem with your SQL setup. Have you give your account DB creator and security admin rights in SQL? Also, check to see if the configuration wizard actually creates anything in SQL.

RJ — Mon, 08 May 2006 19:55:25 GMT

Hi Martin,
On #3, I'm installing MOSS on a clean instance of Windows 2003, opting to have the basic setup install and configure MSDE. In past failed attempts, I had SQL Server installed prior to setup so I could use the management tools to connect to the SQL instance created by the basic MOSS setup to verify that the configuration databases were in fact created.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Tue, 09 May 2006 12:49:44 GMT

RJ, these instructions are specifically designed for deploying MOSS with SQL server (not MSDE) on a single server. If you are using MSDE, you'll need to select different options from the start and this guide is probably not that usefull. I suggest that you either go for a full SQL instance or you could seek further guidance from the official deployment guides avaliable on Betaplace.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Federico — Fri, 12 May 2006 18:47:47 GMT

I also had the "not in canonical form" error. I tried the workaround suggested here:
-Remove Office "12" or WSS Beta Server install
-Join a workgroup
-Remove machine account from domain
-Run sysprep from Windows Support Tool's deploy.cab
-Reboot and rejoin the domain
-Install Office "12" Server
Bus still get the same error.
Do I have to reinstall win2003 and install the latest SP's?
Tnx!

Firstly, I would like to thank you for a really useful post!

You have me stumped on something really simple:

When you say Choose ‘Use an existing IIS Site’ and set it to ‘Default web site’, does that mean that there should be an entry "Default web site", or is one of the web sites already there the default.

If so, which one?

I have the service user in each of the required roles in sql (2000 SP4) but it still fails at configuration database. If I try manually creating the db first, it complains that it has the wrong collation even when I explicitly create the db with the collation it requests :(

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin J. Green — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 05:44:14 GMT

Problem solved - for some reason (perhaps different format of version number?) it thinks SQL 2000SP4 is not a later version than SP3. Reverting to SP3 solved the problem.

First of all thanks for the awesome post. Although this worked like a charm, I am having one problem. I was trying to create a new web application and so used the option "create a new iis website" ( on a different port). Everything goes fine and I get a success screen. However, I don't see any site in the IIS. While trying to browse, I get a page not found error. The strange part is that SPS recognizes the site as well as the application pool. If I try to create another one, it doesn't allow me to do so with same name. I have tried iisreset, restart everything. Can you help me on this.

Thanks in advance,

Pawan

Martin.Kearn@Microsoft.com — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 13:27:52 GMT

Yes you can have a single account for everything and this would be the best option in a demo style environment. However for a production environment, it is recomended that you have seperate accounts for all application pools, an account for search services and an account for general services. This is all outlined in the official deployment guide which you can get from here: http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA100337721033.aspx

All, please be aware that these instructions are for installing Beta1TR of MOSS. Beta2 is out now and has been for a while, therefore these instructions may be wrong in places. My advice now is to use the official Microsoft documentation which you can get at http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/CH100363831033.aspx

I do not intend to update these guidelines for Beta2 or any future releases as I think the official documents are good enough now.

re: How to: Install Sharepoint 2007 Beta1TR on a single machine

Martin Kearn — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:47:54 GMT

Just catching up on all the comments (in most recent order)...

1) The version of Windows Workflow that is require for MOSS Beta2 is Beta 2.2 (file number = 6.0.2800.1106, File name = Windows Workflow Foundation Runtime Components Beta 2_2(EN) for x86.exe). Please bear in mind that these instructions are for Beta1TR, therefore the WinWF version number is wrong for Beta2

2) Make sure that the Microsoft Office Server Search service is started before you create your SSP

3) More info about BDC can be found in the SDK (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms563577.aspx). I also plan to blog about this topic soon

4) In beta2 you can install on a DC but you need a special patch which you can get from the 'known issues' page (http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/products/FX101517541033.aspx )

5) For any other questions, I'm sorry, I do not have an immediate answer for you. I'll try to answer when I get time, otherwise, I recomend that you use the support newsgroups to get a response.

Hi. I have two VM's (one a DC) and was installing on the non-DC VM, I used a domain account with local admin rights on the VM. I selected the Basic install option. It wasn't working (some strange error about not being able to find msxml.msi) anyway, I switched to using the VM's local admin account AND did the Advanced-->(single server/MSDE) install and it worked. So I'm not sure if the problem was with the account or the BASIC install option.

When trying to access configuration wizard, I get the error that:
'SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard Help file could not be found.Repair this product by selecting it from Add/Remove Programs menu.'
However I don't find this help file in the Add/Remove programs menu.
I am able to lauch the configuration wizard through the Central Administration shortcut of SHarePoint.

But then,

I keep getting this error with configuration wizard :

An exception of type System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException was thrown. Additional exception information: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Template\1033\xml\AlertTemplates.xml'

I tried changing the '1036' to '1033' in the path name above.

Then I got the famous 'Language not supported' error. Used Regedit.exe to putHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\ServerLanguage\1033 to blank.

But still getting the same error.

In the event log I have a login failed event to the database.

The user I am using is:

I have the same problem as ynrreddy! I can't update my envirement - everytime I run the configuration wizard, I get at start the same error message: exception "Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException" - an update is currently in progress....

I'm getting insane!!! nothing helps - no restart, even I'm not able to deinstall sharepoint 2007 :-(.. when I want to repair the sharepoint 2007 I get an error message, that a installation package for the excel services language pack german is not found (I can't even find this!!)

So I would be very glad, if someone can help me!!

Best regards!!

Regarding the "Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException" error. It looks like you are having a problem with the configuration wizard. Try running it via the command line by using this command:

psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

Thank you Martin, you're a savioiur! The "-force" switch did the job!

I'd encountered the same "upgrade already in progress" when reattempting the upgrade after my host PC BSOD'd on me while performing the final stage of the upgrade to B2TR on the VPC that was distributed on the Beta2 DVD... doh!

If you've installed the 3.0 framework (final, not beta) and you're getting 'This product requires Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 2 (Build 3.0.3807.7 or later)' errors.

Try copying the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.0\Setup\Windows Workflow Foundation

To:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinFX RunTime\3.0\Setup\Windows Workflow Foundation
