Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008
Published: May 2010
When you create or customize SharePoint solutions, it is usually best to develop the solution on a local computer where Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 is installed. This article describes how to install a development environment with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The development environment that you create by using these instructions will not support SharePoint farm installations, and you should not host active production sites with this configuration. These instructions enable you to get started with an environment that is specifically suited to developing SharePoint custom solutions.
Note |
|---|
For a Windows PowerShell script that installs and configures all of the prerequisites and products that you will need to get started with SharePoint Server 2010 development, see SharePoint 2010 Easy Setup Script. |
The requirements for a development environment are less stringent and costly than the requirements for a production environment, and the guidelines in this topic do not support a production environment installation. You have several options for preconfiguring the operating system of a local computer on which you will install SharePoint 2010 for development purposes. The choice that you make will be determined by factors specific to your organization and environment (such as budget, the size of your development team, and the operating systems that you and your organization are already using).
In any development environment, you should use a computer with an x64-capable CPU, and at least 2 gigabytes (GB) of RAM to install and run SharePoint Foundation; 4 GB of RAM is preferable. You should use a computer with 4 GB of RAM to install and run SharePoint Server; 6 GB to 8 GB of RAM is preferable.
Following are the options:
-
Install SharePoint on Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 x64 (or Windows Server 2008 R2 x64).
-
Use Microsoft Hyper-V and install SharePoint on a virtual machine running a Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 x64 (or Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) guest operating system.
-
Install SharePoint on Windows 7 x64, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 x64, or Windows Vista Service Pack 2 x64.
-
Use Microsoft Hyper-V and install SharePoint on a virtual machine running a Windows 7 x64, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 x64, or Windows Vista Service Pack 2 x64 guest operating system.
You must install the WCF Hotfix for Microsoft Windows. The hotfix is available for Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
If you are using Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or Windows Vista Service Pack 2, install the hotfix for ASP.NET on IIS 7.0 (KB967535). This hotfix, which has already been installed on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 2008 R2, updates the ASP.NET common language runtime (CLR) to recognize a new option of optimizing compilations. To take advantage of this option, set the optimizeCompilations property of the <compilation> tag in your web.config file to true:
This change significantly improves the initial page load time after you have installed a solution to the bin directory.
You must install the ADO.NET Data Services Update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to enable REST-based data services. This update is available for Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
Windows 7 and Windows Vista cannot be used for production deployments of SharePoint 2010. If you use Windows 7 or Windows Vista for your development environment, you should have access to a test environment that has the same operating system installed as your production environment. Windows 7 and Windows Vista are recommended only for developer workstations and should be used only for stand-alone installations. You can use a separate Microsoft SQL Server instance, but you should not configure your installation as a SharePoint farm and you should not host active sites on this configuration.
SharePoint requires your operating system to have certain prerequisites installed before installation begins. For this reason, SharePoint includes a PrerequisiteInstalle.exe tool that installs all of these prerequisites for you. If your developer workstation is set up with the Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system, you can install SharePoint 2010 by running the PrerequisiteInstaller.exe tool (which is included with SharePoint 2010) to install the prerequisites that SharePoint needs, and then run Setup.exe. However, you cannot use PrerequisiteInstaller.exe on Windows 7 or Windows Vista. For those operating systems, you must follow the additional instructions in this section.
Because the default installation works only for Windows Server 2008, you must edit one configuration file and install many of the prerequisites manually. You must perform each of the following steps while logged on with an account that has administrator access on the local computer. These steps assume that you received the SharePoint 2010 distribution as a single compressed executable file named SharePointFoundation.exe for SharePoint Foundation 2010 and setup.exe for SharePoint Server 2010.
To set up a developer workstation
-
Copy the SharePointFoundation.exe (or setup.exe) installation file to a folder on the computer where you are installing SharePoint and doing your development, such as in the following path:
c:\SharePointFiles
-
Extract the installation files by opening a Command Prompt window, and then typing the following command at the directory location of the folder where you copied the installation files in the previous step.
For SharePoint Foundation 2010:
c:\SharePointFiles\SharePoint /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
For SharePoint Server 2010:
c:\SharePointFiles\OfficeServer /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
-
Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the installation configuration file, config.xml, located in the following path: c:\SharePointFiles\files\Setup\config.xml
Add this line inside the <configuration> tag:
-
Save the configuration file.
-
Review the complete configuration file. It now looks similar to the following for SharePoint Foundation 2010. The complete configuration file will be longer for SharePoint Server 2010 (and therefore the text below cannot replace the contents of that file), but should use the same setting for the AllowWindowsClientInstall attribute.
<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="PIDKey Value" /> <Setting Id="UsingUIInstallMode" Value="1" /> <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> <Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/> </Configuration>All of the text in this configuration file is case-sensitive. If you do not edit the configuration file as described in the previous step or if you do not save the configuration file, when you try to run the installation you see the error message shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Setup is unable to proceed error message
-
If you are using Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or Windows Vista Service Pack 2, you must install the following prerequisites:
-
If you are using Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows Vista Service Pack 2, or Windows 7, install the following additional prerequisites:
-
Microsoft FilterPack 2.0. At a command prompt, type the following:
c:\SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi
-
Chart Controls (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
-
SQL Server Analysis Services - ADOMD.Net (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
-
-
Manually enable each of the required Windows Features. You can do this quickly by copying and running the following command in a Command Prompt window.
Caution
The following text contains line breaks.
start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;^ IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;^ IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;^ IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;^ IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;^ IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;^ IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;^ IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;^ IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;^ WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI;WCF-HTTP-Activation;^ WCF-NonHTTP-Activation
-
Verify that the required Windows Features are enabled. The command in the previous step enables all of the required features in the Internet Information Services section of the Windows Features dialog box (which you can access through the Programs section in Control Panel). Use Figure 2 and Figure 3 to check that you have enabled all of the required Windows Features. If any features are missing in your operating system, return to the Internet Information Services section of the Windows Features dialog box and enable them.
Note
The following figures represent one Windows Features dialog box on a computer running the Windows 7 operating system. They have been broken into two figures for the sake of readability. The list of Windows Features will look the same on Windows Vista.
Figure 2. First part of Windows Features list from Windows 7
Figure 3. Second part of Windows Features list from Windows 7
-
Restart your computer to complete the changes that you made to Windows Features.
-
To install SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint Foundation 2010, open a Command Prompt window, and then type the following at the command prompt:
c:\SharePointFiles\Setup.exe
-
Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
-
On the Choose the installation you want page, click Standalone to install everything on one developer workstation.
Figure 4. Installation type choice
-
If any errors occur in the installation, review the log file. To find the log file, open a Command Prompt window, and then type the following commands at the command prompt. The log file is displayed at the end of the directory listing.
cd %temp% dir /od *.log
TipA link to the log file also appears when the installation is complete.
-
After the installation is complete, you are prompted to start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard. If you are using a local instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2008, install the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64 before starting the wizard. If your development environment uses a remote instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or if it has a pre-existing installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on which KB 970315 x64 has already been applied, this step is not necessary. With the wizard open, do the following:
-
Install SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64.
-
After the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64 installation is finished, complete the wizard.
-
-
Alternatively, you can choose not to run the wizard by clearing the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard check box and closing the completed installation dialog box. Install SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64, and then manually start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard by opening a Command Prompt window and executing the following command:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\psconfigui.exe
Caution
|
|---|
|
The SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard may fail if you are using a computer that is joined to a domain but that is not connected to a domain controller. If you see this failure, connect to a domain controller either directly or through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, or sign in with a local account that has administrative privileges on the computer. |
After the configuration wizard is complete, you see the new SharePoint site.

-
Install Visual Studio 2010.
-
Download and install the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 SDK.
After you set up a working development environment on a physical host computer, you can store your setup as a virtual computer, so that others can use it, or so that you can reuse this "clean" installation at a later date. Alternatively, you can set up a development environment on a newly created virtual machine. The Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 provides infrastructure and management tools that enable you to create multiple server environments on a single host. For more information, see Getting to Know Hyper-V: A Walkthrough From Initial Setup to Common Scenarios. For a useful Windows PowerShell script that enables you to create a virtual hard drive (VHD) out of an existing Windows Server 2008 image, see Install-WindowsImage PowerShell Script on MSDN Code Gallery.
If you are using Windows 7, you can also create a VHD on which SharePoint is installed in Windows Hyper-V, and then configure Windows 7 with BDCEdit.exe so that it boots directly to the operating system on the VHD. This improves performance because the virtualization layer is not present. It also enables you to use VHD differencing disks (VHDs that contain only elements that differ from a single base installation), which save disk space and make it easier to roll back changes. See Deploy Windows on a Virtual Hard Disk with Native Boot to learn more about this kind of configuration.
If you choose to create a single server installation on a virtual computer, the standard memory requirements still apply. Your virtual computer requires at least 2 GB (preferably 4 GB) of RAM. Virtualization also gives you the opportunity to create a server farm that includes more than one machine. In a farm installation of SharePoint Server 2010, each machine requires at least 1.5 GB (preferably 2 GB) of RAM. You could run a fully functional domain infrastructure on a setup installation such as the following example installation:
-
Two virtual computers, each with 2 GB of RAM
-
Domain controller and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 running on one computer
-
SharePoint Server 2010 and two Web applications (including Central Administration) running on another computer
<counie>I also was encountering this problem ( on windows 7 64 bit) I managed to resolve with the help of henry sols post on the following thread post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepoint2010setup/thread/a422a3c8-39f6-4b9e-988a-4c4d1e745694
in summary make sure to run the command line statement ( hint for beginners - copy the statement to notepad and turnoff word wrap then copy and paste to your command prompt. the 2nd thing to try is open up iis and enable basic authentication. so far so good!

I already tried running the Hotfixes Windows6.1-KB976462-v2-x64.msu, Windows6.1-KB982307-x64.msu, Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu, Windows6.0-KB976394-x64.msu, NDP35SP1-KB982306-x64.exe & sqlncli.msi. When I do I get the message "The update is not applicable to your computer"
The Services "SharePoint 2010 Administration" & "SharePoint 2010 Timer" were stopped and I started them before I started the wizard. I also tried while they were stopped. The wizard page "Specify Configuration Database Settings" also says "Specify Database Access Account". Should there be another field there?
Thanks!

I had to remove the line containing
<PIDKEY Value="PIDKey Value" />
from the XML configuration file to go on with the installation process.
Also I think this document should be updated to reflect the installation steps more accurately: I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 and many fixes mentioned here are not necessary.

c:\SharePointFiles\SharePointFoundation /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
If you use an installation disk btw., just copy the whole content into a new directory and skip the extraction part.
I don't see how anyone could get this to work on Windows 7.
Step two tells me to copy SharePointFoundation.exe into a directory named c:\SharePointFiles.
Then I am instructed to execute the statement c:\SharePointFiles\SharePoint (SharePointFoundation.exe) /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
This can't possibly work because there is no "SharePoint.exe" file in that directory to execute, nor is it in anywhere in the path.
Something is obviously missing in the instructions.

Hi all,
I have been able to successfully install the sharepoint foundation 2010 on my windows 7 ultimate edition using the above instructions with out any issues. But i have also faced the same issue which has been mentioned by most users above that is "not able to logon to sharepoint sites (admin as well as front end sites) even after providing the right credentials".
I have invested more than 4 hours for debugging this issue and tried all the suggestions mentioned above. The issue turned out to be INTERNET EXPLORER intranet settings. Intranet settings are now turned off by default. Intranet settings are less secure than Internet Settings.
Please check the below link for enabling the settings.

*EDIT* I did disable the "DisableLoopbackCheck" before i did changes in the INTERNET Explorer settings. Find more information about the "DisableLoopbackCheck" here

I am just wondering what kind of licensing is required for the Sharepoint Server 2010. Do I need to buy Standard/Enterprise/ any other license type for development or is there any special licensing? I obviously cannot be using trial versions for development forever. From whatever research I've done, I am yet to get a concrete answer about developer licensing. The alternative is to purchase Standard licenses for each VM but looking at the costs it doesn't make much sense. SQL Server has a specific developer license and I am just wondering if there's something similar for Sharepoint 2010.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The installation went smoothly and without errors.
However, after the installation, I’m unable to browse to the central administration site and get the error message below after running Windows Network Diagnostics after attempting to browse to it using IE7. The URL for central admin is: http://5dzqtm1:5358/.
In IIS the site is stopped and when I try to start it I get this error: “This web site cannot be started. Another Web Site may be using the same port.”

This problem was solved by setting the port to a different port number (5000) for the Central Admin site.
hi how did you change the port?where?thanks

But when I try to install the server version, the only thing I get is "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 encountered an error during setup". No explanations, nothing in the event logs and the setup log file is useless... The fact that the Foundation version installs correctly tells me that the prerequisites are installed correctly. Are there other steps required for the server version ?
Anyone has an idea has to why the installation works for the Foundation edition but not for the server edition ?

Following the instructions works. No need to re-gurgitate… however this little supposed “unsupported language” problem cropped up… well I should really have RTFM
To extract the files from the .exe, actually use the extract switch as instructed, not 7zip or your preferred decompression tool…
OfficeServer.exe /extract:c:\SP2010
That’s all – elementary mistake really… also remember to install the hotfix before running the configuration wizard.

I have installed a standalone version on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. It all seems to work except that I am unable to open a List using Access 2010 (could not load file or assembly - the system could not find the file specified).
I think that this might be related to "The Security Token Service is not available" warning.
Any guidance will be very much appreciated.

I am using Windows 7 64bit. The above did not work for me. For one thing, the install file for the Server edition is called SharePointServer.exe, not setup.exe. Secondly, it just errored complaining about language settings before getting anywhere.
Anyway, this far simpler solution worked fine: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Install_SP2010_on_Win_7.aspx
To get round fact that windows thinks config.xml is in use when you try to edit it, just rename it and then save a new config.xml to My Documents and then move that new copy (with of course that extra line in) to the folder as per above linked article.
For those of you who are only installing this because it is a prerequisite to be able to install the SQL 2008R2 Update for Developers Training Kit, you will want to just install the trail edition. The Trial edition key is: VK7BD-VBKWR-6FHD9-Q3HM9-6PKMX

The service stops each time you go to the site.
No Errors During the install. Logged in as an Admin account.

Start C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\SERVER14\Server Setup Controller\dbwrap.exe timeout=2950
Error: Command: 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\SERVER14\Server Setup Controller\dbwrap.exe' failed with error code: -2067919934. Type: 8::CommandFailed.
When I relaunch the installation, it detects that a previous installation occurred and it gives me the option to Repair or Remove. If I repair, it eventually errors out and throws this error:
Start C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\SERVER14\Server Setup Controller\dbwrap.exe timeout=2950 InstallMode=Repair
Error: Command: 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\SERVER14\Server Setup Controller\dbwrap.exe' failed with error code: -2067919934. Type: 8::CommandFailed. (same thing as above except for the "InstallMode=Repair" bit.
Any ideas?
Edit - I figured it out! I have a Logitech camera which was making things screwy. If I go to regedit and then toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>Session Manager I see a "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry. This was leftover by the Logitech install (sloppy codewriting no doubt). If I delete this and re-run the Repair then it works. The file refreshes itself on Restart though so I'll need to figure out how to deal with this permanently. Thanks!
Edit-
Thanks a Lot. I was facing same issue. I removed the registry entry and i had a smooth installation.
EDIT-
I got the same error, why? cause i had installed vs2010 before sharepoint install and so instead of a standalone install i chose a farm install, and chose create new farm, after running psconfig.exe and entered the already existing SQLEXPRESS path and then every thing continued smoothly.

You will probably see DCOM Errors with Event ID 10016.
Here is the fix for this error:

I have followed the exact steps described in this document, and all succeeded. But when it comes to running the SharePoint 2010 setup package, I get this error message:
"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
This product requires Windows Vista (x64) SP1 or above Business, Enterprise or Ultimate, or Windows 7 (x64) Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate.
Correct this issue(s) listed above and re-run setup."
Can someone please help me get going?

Solution found: For Windows Server 2008 R2 (and Windows 7 64-bit), see FIX: A hotfix that provides a method to support the token authentication without transport security or message encryption in WCF is available for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166231). - then it works fine
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=43162af5-5b7b-40e0-b879-a77dac8f58bc&displaylang=en
After step 2 I run the setup.exe, but then this message appears: "The product ID specified was not found on the machine."
logfile:
Showing parent-less message Title: 'Setup Error', Message: 'The product ID specified was not found on the machine.'
Message returned: 1
Error: Server products do not support select UI Type: 40::InvalidProductFromARP.
How can I solve this problem?

For the first time one is able to install SP on a laptop running a "laptop-OS" (W7) rather than Windows Server (or a server OS in a VM). This makes it so much easier to do rapid prototyping or a demo at a customer site. It must have been a non-trivial job. Thanks to the people at Microsoft who made this happen.
On an up-to-date W7 system with VS2010 installed, I had to do the following steps:
1. D:\SharepointFiles>SharePointFoundation.exe /extract:d:\sharepointfiles (there is a slight typo in the instructions)
2. D:\SharepointFiles>d:\SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilerPack.msi
[ sync framework already installed, most likely as part of VS2010 ]
[ sql server native client already installed, most likely as part of VS2010]
3. Install Windows Identity Foundation (Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu) from link
4. From cmd prompt: the very long command with line breaks removed
start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS;........
Yes, it worked and was a lot quicker than laboriously comparing and installting pieces.
5. Install SP, start the site config wizard but stop there.....
5. Install SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64 (request hotfix download from microsoft. Download link arrives via email).
The hotfix installer found the Express version of Katmai and the Sharepoint sql server
instance and patched both just fine.
7. Continue the SP config wizard, and voila, there was my SP site.
8. Download and install the SP Platform SDK
9. Build my first SP 2010 web part in VS2010 and deploy it to my site in a matter of seconds.
Yes, it took a few hours and there were lots of downloads. But it was all worth it. Thanks Microsoft.

c:\SharePointFiles
1. copy setup.exe to c:\SharePointFiles.
Extract the installation files by opening a Command Prompt window, and then typing the following command at the directory location of the folder where you copied the installation files in the previous step.
For SharePoint Foundation 2010:
c:\SharePointFiles\SharePoint /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
For SharePoint Server 2010:
c:\SharePointFiles\OfficeServer /extract:c:\SharePointFiles
1. Only copied one file, not files.
2. Command prompt is not an operable program or batch file
Note: The correct command would be: Setup.exe /extract or SharePointFoundation.exe /extract
It will prompt you for location.

Cannot create configuration database
Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version = 3.5.0 ...
Then you should install Windows Identity Foundatin (formaly name: Geneva Framework ) from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=zh-cn&FamilyID=eb9c345f-e830-40b8-a5fe-ae7a864c4d76

Installing "Microsoft “Geneva” Framework Runtime" from the following link addressed this issue.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/3/D/F3D66A7E-C974-4A60-B7A5-382A61EB7BC6/MicrosoftGenevaFramework.amd64.msi
Also, following link of Bill Baer is worth looking for any othe installation issues:
http://blogs.technet.com/wbaer/archive/2009/11/18/installation-notes-for-microsoft-sharepoint-server-and-microsoft-sharepoint-foundation-2010-beta.aspx
Another requirement is the installation of the WIF framework (Windows Indentity Foundation, KB974405) if the above solution still doesn't work:

When copying the command (start /w...), make sure that you remove the line breaks (e.g. in notepad) before copying to a command prompt. Otherwise just the first line will be executed and not run proberly...

However I managed to complete the wizard by removing the two allowInsecureTransport="true" sentences from the client.config found at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\Profile" thanks to a tip from http://www.mcpblog.net/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=8f2497f6%2De77b%2D4e70%2D8400%2De020b292165c&ID=61. Note that you don't have to uninstall SharePoint, only remove the two lines and then run the wizard again.
