Download the public SharePoint 2010 publicbeta from:
Once your download has finished, extract the archive from the command line appending the parameter /extract:c:\YourDestinationFolder to your executable.
Before proceeding with the install, edit the config.xml under c:\YourDestinationFolder\Files\Setup
Now install all the SharePoint's 2010 beta prerequisites. Prerequisites required by your SharePoint installation are:
- Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0 (Beta)
- Microsoft Sync Framework
- Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
- Microsoft Geneva Framework
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (this will be installed later, as we choose the stand alone installation type)
Start running \SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi
Microsoft Sync Framework:
As you can see we have installed the Italian version of Microsoft SQL Server Native Client. English installation process results the same.
Microsoft Geneva Framework:
And finally Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET:
Now you need to enable manually each of the required Windows Features. You can do this quickly by copying and running the following command in a Command Prompt window.

The following text contains line breaks. You must remove the line breaks to run this script from a command prompt.
Once the installation starts, please choose the stand alone installation type and click "Next", to start the installation.
After the installation completed, you will be prompted to start the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard. Before starting the wizard, first install the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64 that you can find here: SQL Server 2008 KB 970315 x64.
Once this process is finished, you can finally run the Configuration Wizard and set up your SharePoint 2010 environment.
If your configuration fails, as captured in the following screenshot
Failed to create sample Data.
An exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException was thrown. Addictional exception information: Unrecognized attribute 'allowInsecureTransport'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extentions\14\WebClients\Profile\client.config line 56)
Then you should edit your "client.config" file placed at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extentions\14\WebClients\Profile and completely remove all the instances of the "allowInsecureTransport" attribute.
You are done! Go to your Central Administration and create your first Web Application.
