Preparing for WSS4 Installation on Windows7
SharePoint 2010 will come with pre-requisite installer and basically you just run the Prerequisite.exe before installing SharePoint 2010. This application takes care of the pre-requisite software including IIS installation. It does not install and configure SQL Server 
Of course, this may not be applicable for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (WSS 4), since it installs and configures SQL Express 2008 for you.
However, to install Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (WSS 4) on Windows7 you will need to install pre-requisite software, since the SharePoint 2010 Prerequisite installer does not run on Windows 7.
Follow these steps to get ready for installing Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (WSS 4) on Windows7
- IIS (Windows Feature) installation and configuration (Refer to this post for a scripted setup of IIS)
- Reboot
- Install FilterPack by running c:\SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi
- Install Sync framework by running c:\SharePointFiles\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\sync\Synchronization.msi
- Download the Geneva framework Beta 1 runtime x64. Download Link: 2k
- Install Geneva framework.
Now you are ready to install Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (WSS 4) on Windows7. Refer next post for the how to steps.
