Installing Sharepoint on windows 7


If you're seeing a message that Windows Server 2008 is required, refer to the installation instructions for installing SharePoint on Windows 7.  The very first thing you need to do is edit the configuration file to allow installation on a Windows client.  These are available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx.


You should read the entire article (of course) but the relevant section to get the install to run on Windows 7 is pasted here:

<Configuration>
  <Package Id="sts">
    <Setting Id="SETUPTYPE" Value="CLEAN_INSTALL" />
  </Package>
  <DATADIR Value="%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
   Extensions\14\Data" />
  <Logging Type="verbose" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Windows
   SharePoint Services 4.0 Setup *.log" />
  <PIDKEY Value="RBWQH-7PFXQ-D6RX2-HVK8Y-HP7F7" />
  <Setting Id="UsingUIInstallMode" Value="1" />
  <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
  <Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>
</Configuration>
