Install Issue: Unable to install TFS as SharePoint is not configured correctly..

hi all,

Hope someone can point me right on this one. I have been trying to install TFS and have not had much luck. When I go to install the TFS from the setup.exe I choose to Install the server and then select a single machine install.. then I get the following in the pre-req screen that pops up:

"Windows Sharepoint is not configured as recommended by Team Foundation Server"

You have the option of Continue (which sends you back to the initial menu) or to exit setup.

How do I find out what is not configured as recommended I can't see any logging anywhere and SharePoint seems to be working OK (http://localhost/default.aspx) on the machine but I have never used it before so don't know what to start looking at.

Install was:

SQL 2005 September CTP
Visual Studio Team Suite RC
SharePoint with SP1
Team Foundation Server B3 (The latest one on MSDN)

I have run the SharePoint Configuration tool as recommended in post 6791 and the only issue is "The location of "wpresources" could not be detected."

Cheers
Paul

I am having the same issue with Sharepoint during the TFS install. Sad

Can you be a bit more specific as to which SQL 2005 components need to be removed to allow the server farm option to be available for Sharepoint during the the Sharepoint install

Thanks so much

Turned out I had installed Sharepoint not in Server Farm mode and uninstalling it left behind a SQL component that had been set up for sharepoint. Hence uninstalling Sharepoint did not let me reinstall in Server Farm mode.. The install has now at least gone ahead...

Yes - that was the problem - thank you so much - TFS and TFS Client are now installed - thanks again.

My initial guess would be the Sharepoint databases are still in your SQL instance. Do you see any databases with the names STS_* in your SQL instance If so, try deleting them and then reinstalling Sharepoint. Make sure you backup anything you want to keep before deleting the databases.
