I have a laptop w/ i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 750GB HDD running Win7 Ultimate, Office 2010 Premium, SharePoint Designer, SQL 2008 R2, VS2010 & TFS are already installed (all from MSDN subscription). This a clean rebuild of the computer.
The question is: what failed w/ Office component & how do I recover?
I followed the setup instructions to the letter for a stand alone dev box from this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx and the setup failed with the message:
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 configuration did not complete successfully.
One or more required Office components failed to complete sucessfuly. For more information, consult the stup log file.
The log file content is available, but to long for this message. Happy to provide it to any seeking to help.
