SharePoint 2010 Install
With a solid domain controller and SQL Server running, it’s time to install SharePoint 2010.
In SQL Server, I connected to the server and opened the Security | Logins node. I right clicked and selected New. I added the db access account. On the Server Roles tab, I assigned it dbcreator and securityadmin roles.
For SharePoint, you can download the Beta package here.
I clicked on the .exe and I get the pretty new SharePoint Server 2010 dialog.
Under the prepare heading, I click Read The Install Guide. This is a link that points to Technet. Now I know you’re wondering who I am and what happened to Robot but I’m going to take a few minutes and read through it.
In the meantime, I click Install the Prerequisites. I get the SharePoint Product Preparation Tool that wants to check a bunch of stuff so I click Next. I accept the agreement and click Next.
It loads a bunch of stuff and gives me an Installation Complete page so I click Finish.
I take a deep breath and click Install SharePoint Server.
I enter the product key, accept the agreement and click Continue.
I accept the default file locations and click Install Now.
It runs and runs… Then I get a dialog that says Run Configuration Wizard so I click Close.
The SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard opens. I click Next. It warns me that some services will be stopped. I click Yes.
It counts configuration tasks.. 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3, 4, 5…
I get: Configuration Failed and it’s pointing me to a PSCDiagnostics.log that’s about a thousand pages long. About five minutes into the install I got a warning:
Found registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\Services\Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.DiagnosticsService, but the SubKeyCount is zero
I get the same warning two more times in the next 20 seconds. Then, about seven minutes into the install, I get this:
Calling SPServiceInstance.Provision for instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance, service Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchService
02/23/2010 17:16:14 11 ERR Task services has failed with an unknown exception
Then a bunch of errors:
02/23/2010 17:16:14 11 ERR Exception: System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.

Less than Optimal…
