How to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 on Vista x64/x86

If you are a developer for SharePoint your best friend has been Virtual PC or VMWare. It’s time to introduce a new friend, Bamboo Nation's SharePointOnVista J

We have put together an installer that allows you to install WSS3.0 SP1 on Vista, both x86 and x64.  This will allow you to develop on your workstation with all the power of a non virtualized environment. You still need VPC and VMWare so don’t feel sorry.

There’s been much discussion about SharePoint being a "bad" development platform. This will remove the objection that you NEED to develop on a Server OS.  I think we all as SharePoint developers have built our “virtualization skills” to a comfortable level now so it’s time to give us a break ;)

So please download the setup helper and try it out. I really want to hear from you about problems you encountered so we can fix them.  Please leave your comments here or we can discuss in this forum. It would be nice to hear about successful installations too J

UPDATE: If you run Windows Vista Home Premium IIS only supports Basic Authentication. Therefore you MUST manually enable Basic Authentication in the IIS management console. 

UPDATE: John McBride has posted a solution for all of us that runs Vista 64 bit so we can install the new VSeWSS 1.2 with support for VS 2008. Just go here to see how to solve it. Thanks John!

You no longer need this workaround since the latest version of VSeWSS 1.3 CTP supports 64bit operating systems and we have successfully installed it on both Vista and Windows7. Look at this post for more information.

UPDATE: Jim Parshall has created a detailed video tutorial that walks you through everything you need to do to get WSS running on Vista. It's pretty big so it takes a while to download but it's well worth it. Click here to get the video. Thanks Jim!

UPDATE: If you are installing on Windows 7 RC (build 7100) you need to read this post before continuing.

Current limitations:

  • You must select the Advanced option during install.
  • If you want to run on SQLExpress, manually install it first.  Get it here.
  • You have to manually enable IIS7 with the proper options (explained).
  • Your workstation has to be part of a domain. UPDATE: This is not required.

 

Here’s how you install it.

First download the installation helper and the correct version of WSS with SP1.

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with Service Pack 1

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 x64 with Service Pack 1

Go here to download our Setup Helper file

Now run the setup helper (WssVista.msi).

wssvistainstall_01

You will see an UAC prompt select Continue to proceed with the installation.  

 

 

 

Once the install has completed you will find the SetupLauncher.exe in the install location you selected. If you didn’t change the default option you will see it under the directory ..\Program Files\WssOnVista\Setup

Configuring IIS7

Before we go any further we need to make sure IIS7 is installed with all required options .

Go to Control Panel and click Programs.

 

 Under Program and Features click Turn Windows features on or off.

 Under Windows Features select Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services. Enable at least the following options and choose OK.

Wait until Windows has configured all options.

 Installing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 on Vista.

After completing the above steps it’s time for the interesting part. Locate SetupLauncher.exe and start it. You will once again see an UAC prompt, select Continue.

wssvistainstall_8

After the SetupLauncher run, select the WSS installation file Sharepoint.exe, or the MOSS installation file, and click OK.  First, the package will be extracted.

After the files have been extracted the WSS setup program will be started.

The current version only supports the advanced installation option so select that one.

Select Web Front End when asked about Server Type. The database will be created later.

(If you are installing MOSS select the option which installs all services on the Web Front End)

 Sit back and relax while SharePoint is being installed, you are running Vista remember ;)

Hopefully you will see the following screen at the end of the installation. If you would get an error during the installation step try to run a Repair.

 

Leave the checkbox checked and click Close to run the Configuration Wizard.

wssvistainstall_10

At the second screen select the option to create a new server farm.

wssvistainstall_12

Specify your database server (e.g. MYLAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS) and account information.

  config

     
image wssvistainstall_16  

  Let the Configuration Wizard do it's work.

image

And you should end up with this screen, congratulations!

The final result is WSS running on Vista, Enjoy!

 

/Jonas

Note: Remember that this is a "beta" product tool from Bamboo.  Do not use it for any production work, as well as the usual "backup your system before install this program".  Obviously, running WSS v3 or MOSS on Vista is not a supported environment by MS. 

UPDATE: Additional discussions and solutions on instalation issues can be found in this forum.

UPDATE:  If you run Vista Home Premium you have to enable Basic Authentication in IIS, if you don't you will only see a blank page.

Here's how to do it:

Open up IIS management console and Enable Basic Authentication. You have to do this for ALL Web Applications you are creating.

Vista.Home.EnableBasic

Good to hear.

Yes you can install MOSS. With this version of the installer you have to rename the file OfficeServerXXX.exe to SharePoint.exe and then run it.

We will post an updated version soon.

John,

Thanks for the info.

We will investigate this further. When we installed without being joined to a domain the DCOM permissions to the IIS Admin Service didn't allow local launch access so you couldn't create new Web Applications and you got some other access denied errors.

If you don't see the option to create new Web Applications check the event log for DCOM launch errors and then you can manually grant these permissions using dcomcnfg

Aditya,

I'm not sure what you mean by "get stuck".

You must have either SQL Express or SQL Server installed.

Type in the SQL server name (If you have a named instance put in the instance name)

Enter the access account, I always create a new local account (wssCaAppPool or similar) and I don't add it to ANY group. The SharePoint configuration tool will add it to the proper WSS_xxx groups.

I have a Vista Home and SP1 installed. But, still at the end of the installation the configuration manager page is empty as other people reported here.

Any help?

Your tutorial is broken at the beginning.  You MUST install sql first. And broken at the end.  Blank page for the configuration webpage. Also no shortcut (and no other way to start it for that matter) for opening the configuration page.

I was looking out for options to fix this blank page for configuration Manager. But, no success yet. One of the solution offered was to move the Sharepoint assemblies to .NET 1.1 instead of default 2.0. The reason mentioned was Sharepoint uses 1.1. Not sure if I got it right or this is a right solution. But, did not worked for me.

You must enable Basic Authentication for all sites manually from the IIS administration console. IIS7 doesn't support Windows Authentication in Vista Home Premium.

Vista Home Premium:

When I enable Basic Authentication manually, I have access to the Central Administration. I can add a WebApplication successfully.

If I try to Create A Site Collection for the WebApplication, I get the Error "Cannot complete this action". I enable Basic Authentication to "Intranet" and reset IIS, but I get the same error message. Some idea?

Peter,

I don't fully understand this "The sharepoint service account of my W2003 Domain has full access to the SQL 2005 Server"

1) Are you interactively logged on as a user with enough permissions in your SQL Server when you run the ConfigurationWizard?

2) This account has to be a Farm administrator.

Look in your SharePoint logs 12\LOGS and see if you can find the following message or something else that can help you.

The SPPersistedObject, %s, could not be updated because the current user is not a Farm Administrator

We have successfully installed on XP 64bit. You can only run on XP 64bit since IIS6 is required.

You will get an error at the end of the install but disregard this and run the Configuration Wizard.

Since IIS6 on XP only allows one active Web Site you have to manually turn on and of your active Web Site from the IIS management console.

nix_123,

You can use stsdev or a similar tool to deploy your wsp solutions directly from the IDE.

http://www.codeplex.com/stsdev

The fact that you are running Basic Authentication has nothing to do with deployment "problems" all deployment is using the Object Model natively.

What you MUST do is launch Visual Studion as administrator "run as administrator".

Hi,

Does anyone experience VERY slow response on launching the WSS 3.0 Central Admin Page. It takes about 20 secs on first load, and my PC has 4GB RAM and 2.44 GHz Quad-Core and Vista Ultimate, so I thought that was pretty slow response. It happens on first load or when I re-load it after accidentally closing my browser that connects to Sharepoint. It can be pretty frustrating.

Is it just me? Does anyone know a tweak to prevent this? Is there like a cache setting I could adjust?

Sometimes, I think when the browser that displays Sharepoint is idle for say 10 minutes, and then do something, say, switch from Home tab to Operations tab in the Central Admin, that also takes a while. My other apps are alright (eg, VS 2008, SQL Mgmt Studio, IE/Internet), so it is just WSS 3.0.

Thanks in advance!

This installed well on Vista Home Premium.  I had a couple of errors; I ignored them; did a reinstall, selecting the REPAIR option.  

I can get into the Sharepoint Admin now.

The install is fine.  I can get into Sharepoint admininstraiion OK.  

PROBLEM:  If I create a Sharepoint Website I cannot run it.  I get IE cannot dipslay the page message.

It works only if I extend the Sharepoint Admin site.

How do I get it to run when I create an  IIS site thru SP

Hi

The install works fine for WSS 3.0, except that the installation fails at step 2 of step 9, while creating the configuration database. It gives a "FileNotFoundException".

I am giving the admin user privileges to connect to the SQL Express.

Is it because of no Active Directory on my Vista Home Premium Laptop,

Hi, i got the following error:

Failed to create the configuration database.

Could not find file C:\Users\(domain user)\AppData\Local\Temp\vavup2na.dll

Is there a way I can correct this?

This is an excellent article.  I did try to install this on Vista Home Premium and follow the instruction and it crashed on Configuration Wizard (step 2 of 9) with two errors

It mentioned about Resource File to COFF Object Conversion Utility has stopped working and Visual C# Command Line Compiler not working

BTW ... I am using SQL Express 2005

can you help me thank you!

Vijay,

Have you tried to run the configuration wizard again?

Disable any virus scanning software during the install.

SamTheMan,

You say you run Vista Home Premium, do you manually enable Basic Authentication in IIS after creating the Web Application?

If you guys still get errors please post in the Forum and we will try to help you.

Thanks

Thank you for the instructions.  I have WSS running great on Vista X64 Ultimate.

Thanks

Great blog, it's an excellent solution for consultants to use.

Instructions worked screenshot-to-screenshot!!

I managed a complete installation on a Vista Ultimate using SQLExpress.

Not much tweaking needed.

Cheers

Hi,

I am trying to install MOSS 2007 on Vista Business SP1. I was getting a compatibility issue because my MOSS install was not the latest service pack so i extracted the SP1 .exes to the Update folder. This got me past the compatibility error.

BUT, as other users have said, on the DVD the Setup.exe does not work with the installer. So i downloaded the demo version as suggested, and now i get the same compatibility error because it is not SP1 either.

Any suggestions???

Nice, It really works!, with MOSS 2007 and Vista.  In WSS 3.0, it fails in SQL Server conection.  But for me Its better to use MOSS 2007.

Thanks for your support!.

DungNguen,

Find the relevant section in the log file and post it in the forum, so we can try to get you up and running.

(You see the log file location in the error dialog message)

Make sure you are logged on as a user with proper rights in SQL server.

Thanks

Thank you very much.  I just install MOSS on my Vista Pro.

Is there anybody who found a way to install Active Directory on a vista PC to use AD group from MOSS?

Hello.

I was tryint to install MOSS SP1 on my vista machine with MOSS installation helper.

But in very beginning it shows me the mesage:

Microsoft Office Sharepoint 2007.

The installation of this package failed.

When i try to run installer without helper, i got the same error.

What is the problem?

Thanks!

Jonas Nilsson wrote re: How to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 on Vista x64/x86
on Thu, Aug 28 2008 4:22 PM

Sim,

When you run the install WITHOUT the helper you should see a message saying that Windows 2003 is required if you don't see this your exe is most likely corrupted.

This is the message on a US install:

"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):

This product requires Windows Server 2003 SP1"

Try to download a new copy.

Thanks
