Sharepoint Server 2010 Installtion Step By Step

1.       Install Windows 7 64-bit.

2.       Join the domain controller.

3.       Before installing the setup.exe (In case of share point Server2010)
Add the following <Configuration> tag

    <Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>

Ref:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx

4.       Save the config.xml file. 
5.       Run setup.exe file.

Setup.exe File

 As you double click on setup.exe file, an installer will become start and will ask you for the license key.

After validating, you have to accept the License term (as all of the applications have),
Because there is no other option to continue ;-)

 Now its time to select your installation mode. i.e. Standalone vs. Server Farm

 The Major difference between these two installation types is 

• Standalone will install SQL Express on your machine and use it for your Sharepoint instance. No other SP machines can join, its standalone not a farm.
• Farm will install Sharepoint on existing SQL Server instance if you already have one on either your machine or somewhere else on the network. You can join other machines to this SP installation.ore

For the time being i m gona select the standalone installation using default settings.
This will lead us towards the installation process.

This will take almost 5-15 Mints to complete depending upon the specs of the system.

It was all about the installation, that was quite easy to do.
Next step is to Configure your Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Server, which can be easily configured by the configuration wizard.
