OfficeSharePointServer_CompatibilityIssue_Windows_Server_2008

Ok, the solution to install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 is as follows:

If you’re trying to install Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, go to: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/product/related-technologies/Pages/windows-sharepoint-services.aspx and get the latest Version of WSS 3.0 including SP2.

If you’re trying to install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1, you have to get the Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and slipstream it into the original setup source files.
To do so, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b7816d90-5fc6-4347-89b0-a80deb27a082&displaylang=en and download the x32 or x64 version of the Microsoft Office SharePoint Services Servicepack 2.

Filenames: officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe or officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe.

extract the Service Pack 2 using the commandline:

officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:<path>

You can extract the Service Pack directly into the Updates folder of the Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Source directory or you can extract it in a seperate directory and copy the extracted content the setup updates directory later on.

MOS2k7SP2_cmdStartSP2Extraction

Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA)

MOSS2k7SP2_EULA

Wait for the extraction process to complete..

MOSS2k7SP2_ExtractionProgress

Quit

MOSS2k7SP2_ExtractionComplete

Now copy the whole extracted content to the updates directory located in the sharepoint setup source directory.

MOSS2k7_UpdatesDirectory

when copying the content to the udpates folder, some files may already exist – i’ve chosen to overwrite all of them.

Finally start setup.exe again and install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 Slipstreamed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 System

Feel free to comment.

Cheers
