Installing MOSS on Windows Server 2008 VPC Part III

This is part III of the series. In this post I will provide the steps to install MOSS on Windows Server 2008 by Splitstream.

When I ran the MOSS Setup I got the following message.

Windows Server 2008 does not support MOSS without SP1. Either you can download the SP1 Version of MOSS or you can make splitstream easily. Follow the steps given below.

1. Get both Service Pack 1 of MOSS and WSS 3.0 and rename the files to some easy names.	Open the command prompt and navigate to the location. In my case files on placed on desktop


MOSS SP1
Create a folder in C Drive name SplitStreams	Run the following command to extract the files the folder
	filename.exe /extract:C:\SplitStreams
MOSS Sp1 Setup will run	Accept the agreement and click contineue

Wait for the extraction

WSS SP1
Go to command prompt again	run the command with WSS 3.0 SP1 File. accept and Contineue

Wait for the extraction	navigate to the Extracted Folder C:\SplitStreams in my case

Press Control + A or Select All Files and Press Control C to copy all files	Go to MOSS Installation Folder and copy the files to Updates folder

The folder will look like this
	Run MOSS Setup now and configure as usual. If you don’t know how to install MOSS see the guide in the files section or link in the my best posts. MOSS Installation Guide – Step by Step
Installing Project Server 2007 on the same VPC
Go to Project Server Installation folder and copy all the files from Splitstream folder to that Updates folder
Run project Server setup and then run the configuration wizard.
