You need to install on either Server 2008 R2 SP1 or Server 2012 RC.

With Hyper-V support in Windows 8, why would you need to? Just virtualise the environment....

]]> Error when installing SharePoint 2013 Customer Preview https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/robbieleggett/error-when-installing-sharepoint-2013-customer-preview Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:50:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/robbieleggett/2012/07/23/error-when-installing-sharepoint-2013-customer-preview/ I started installing SharePoint 2013 Customer Preview today.

 

I had SharePoint 2010 on my local machine already, i'm running Server 2008 R2. I uninstalled SharePoint 2010, Web Apps, the SDK - just for luck, and anything else I thought may have caused an issue with the install. What happened next?

 

I had already installed the prerequisites, so went ahead and started the install.....

The issue was a registry key in the following location:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0

I deleted all of the folders underneath this key and ran the install again.

 

It worked!!!
