Installing SharePoint 2010 Beta 2

After a few months of blog inactivity I have come back! During these months two things have changed my life: My wedding and SharePoint 2010.

Since July I am fighting with SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 in my lab environment. The NDA did not allow me to share the news but now (after SharePoint Confrence) all has changed. The first post about 2010 will be about its installation. Although the process has been improved from Beta 1 it is still a bit confusing. I recommend reading carefully the documentation before install because there are a lot of little tricks that need to be done before "click to install". I started without reading it and I have encountered several problems with the prerequisites like the SQL Server version, .net framework and PowerShell.

So, let read the document and enjoy with the new SharePoint version. SharePoint 2010 is here!
