Thanks for the info Skibum Smiley

And W3bbo, since our product isn't going to be released until next summer and it is desinged for .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio .Net, it would only make sense for us to be on all the beta versions.

Does anyone know when / if MSFT will use BitTorrent type of download service for their downloads. I suspect if TFS Beta3 is release next week then so will VS RC1, that means one very busy time for the download servers.

D'oh! I've obviously been looking the other way.

Thanks

Not luck for me to get it installed, got error:

[
Setup has detected that the following components are not installed on this system. It is recommended that you install the following components before continuing.

Recommended Components

Windows SharePoint Services is not configured as recommended by Team Foundation Server.

Windows Sharepoint Services configuration does not meet Team Foundation Setup recommendation.
]

Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0 With SP1 appears to have been installed successfully because when the installation is complete, a Web browser window opens and displays the home page of the Windows SharePoint top-level site.

Nonetheless, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0 with SP1 many times in a Windows 2003 Standard Server. I even set "Default Web Site" to port 81 and created a new Web Site in port 80, still no go... Mad

Could microsoft do something about MSDN Subscription?

Is there a way that microsoft would enable developers like me who don't have MSDN subscription to get a chance of reviewing Vista and products such as the Team System amongst other microsoft product. I want to become an expert at Microsoft technology, but I can't do this if I can't get my hands on product for which I want to review.

Mar7in. I got the same error at first. Then i found out that i had not read the install docs fully. You need to install SharePoint in "Web Farm" mode. Then you should not get that error.

Mar7in, if you get the sharepoint home page you've gone too far! You need to stop the moment the central administration page comes up at the end of the install page. RTFM!

Thanks for the info.

There has gotta be something simple that I am missing. The stsv2.exe starts up the setup wizard, and there is NO "Type of Installation" page for me to check "Web Farm" installation. And the command arguments of stsv2.exe don't have one for that purpose either.

Physically the Windows 2003 Standard Server is not in any Cluster configuration. It is just a stand-alone server in a Windows 2003 domain for testing.

Mar7in. Make sure you uninstall sharepoint services and the MSDE (Sharepoint) from Add-remove programs.

Once both of these are uninstalled run the sharepoint installer again and it will give you both options on type of installation.
