Introduction
In this three part posting I will demonstrate the steps I followed to build out a SharePoint 2007 development environment. If you follow the steps closely you’ll end up with a solid virtual server that you can clone and re-use as necessary. Note that you can now build using 64 bit since Microsoft Visual Studio Extensions for SharePoint are now 64 bit compatible.
Main Components
- VMWare Workstation V 6.5 (You can also use VMWare Server)
- Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise (32 or 64 Bit)
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
- Visual Studio 2008
Install Windows Server 2008 on VMware
Create a new Virtual Machine, be sure to choose the custom option so you can specify the type of virtual disk you will employ
I have since increased my allocated memory to 5 GB.
Allocate plenty of space, if you don’t you’ll have to use GParted to expand the disk later.
Success!
