This post was good, paul. I did need to access the links to the other related sites to finish it off, but was the best approach to anonymous BCS access I've found.

Glad to hear that, but I tried again and still can't get it to add via the UI. If you can add it, then just assign the execute permission to it and you won't have to edit the XML.

Finally got it to install by setting up a farm instead of standalone. The issue now is that my css and images don't render in Central Admin. The files are there and pointing the correct directories when I view source, but they don't load (I've tried IE, Firefox and Chrome). Have you encountered this before?

I tried it last night with the Trial install and it worked fine for me. The only thing different was that I didn't edit the config.xml to include the PIDKEY. I typed that in manually in the UI.

The config.xml file is located in C:\SharePointFiles\Files\Setup\. My setup.exe file is in C:\SharePointFiles\. This is what my config file looks like:

<logging path="%temp%" template="SharePoint Server Setup(*).log" type="verbose">
<pidkey value="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"> (Real key shows here)
<setting id="SERVERROLE" value="SINGLESERVER">
<setting id="USINGUIINSTALLMODE" value="1">
<setting id="SETUPTYPE" value="CLEAN_INSTALL">
<setting id="SETUP_REBOOT" value="Never">
<setting id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" value="True">
</setting></setting></setting></setting></setting></pidkey></logging></configuration>

Also, this is a trial download.

Are you sure you are running setup.exe from the hard drive where you extracted the files from the DVD? This is normally caused by setup.exe not seeing the altered setting in the Config.xml file that you changed.

Great instructions, but I'm having trouble with my SharePoint Server 2010 installation on my Windows 7 Pro machine. I have updated my config file, however, when I try to install SharePoint Server, I get this message in the log file: Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
This product requires Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or above.
Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup.

Any ideas?

Good stuff Paul. As much as we Love Silverlight, it's a fact that some companies will want to turn it off.

I reran Products and Technology Configuration wizard and same error. I turned off friendly error messages for IE and it just returns a blank page. I made sure the App Pool account for Central Admin site is db_owner of both config and content admin databases. Still same blank page. I checked the 14 logs and I have this error with the w3wp process "Cannot get the SPMonitoredScope for the request".

In my experience Server 500 errors are usually caused by SharePoint having problems accessing the database files correctly. Double check to make sure your application pool identity account has access rights to the Central Admin content database and the config database in SQL. Sometimes an error 500 can also be fixed just by re-running the Products and Technology Configuration wizard.

I've installed SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows 7 and SQL 2008 R2. Everything works great and all configuration is reported as running successfully. When I open Central Admin I get the dreaded internal server 500 error. I thought it might be an IIS issue but I could not figure it out. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the heads up. We're not sure what went wrong, but the registration link has now been fixed. Give it another try and you should be able to register.

Good catch Bill. Somehow I copied the link for the Windows Server 2003 version of the Windows Identity Framework instead of the Win7/Server 2008 version. I've fixed the link so it now points to the right download location.

One small difference, I couldn't get Windows Identity to install for me. The x64 version said it wasn't for my operating system. Otherwise great guide!

I guess I don't have that listed anywhere do I. For the record. I live in Cleveland, OH USA. Although I've traveled so much for my work in the last 5 years I should just say North America, since I don't spend much time in Cleveland.
