SharePoint 2010 Installation for developers
Lot of people think that SharePoint Foundation 2010 can be installed on a 64 bit machine only and in order to find out if their machine is 32 bit or 64 bit they check the System Information and find that they have a 32 bit operating system installed which means they can't Install SharePoint Foundation 2010 :(. That's frustrating!!Well, don't be too sad because you are doing it all wrong. Take a note of the following.
Since you have a 32 bit operating system doesn't means that your machine will not support 64 bit operating system. Most of the intel/AMD procesors designed after 2007 support 64 bit architecture. Which means you can install both 64 bit and 32 bit operating system on your machine. You can check this quickly by running the below command in command prompt: -
wmic cpu get DataWidth
If it says 64 bit then you are all set :-)
First install a 64 bit operating system like Windows Server 2008 R2. Once the OS is installed then install SharePoint foundation 2010. Additionally you can also install Visual studio 2010 and SharePoint designer 2010.
