Hi All , Actually i have a laptop with the following hardware and software configuration : OS : Windows 7 - Home (32 Bit) Processor : Intel Dual Core (32 Bit) RAM - 4GB (3GB Usable) I need to install sharepoint 2007 now on my laptop . I have referred the following link for installing sharepoint 2007 on Virtual PC 2007 . http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Install_SharePoint_on_VPC.aspx After i start the virtual PC it asks me for logging into windows server 2003 but nothing happens on CTRL+ALT+DEL :( :( I actually wanna knw whether i can install sharepoint 2007 directly on my host pc instead of configuring it on a Virtual PC . And , the hard disc what i have selected for the abv installation is C:/ only . My laptop hasnt gt any partition . I dunno whether this is creating any issue . So pls anyone out there guide me whether i can directly install sharepoint 2007 on Windows 7 w/o virtual machine concept , and in any case if this isnt possible pls let me kno the alternative with detailed steps Thanks & Regards , Divya K.V @divya

I think you are going to have some problems. There are some work arounds for getting to get it to work on a Win7 client machine, but it will be limited in what you can do. Here is one write up that I'm familiar with: http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/Running-SharePoint-on-Windows-7.aspx The better alternative is a server hosted VM with more RAM and 64-bit OS with access to AD.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com
