Beta 3 Setup Error: Windows SharePoint Services is not configured as recommended by Team Foundation Server

  I had this issue as well and my case was what Scott posted above. I uninstalled WSS and reinstalled using silent mode (STSV2.EXE /C:"setupsts.exe /remoteSql=yes /provision=no /q") and everything worked afterwards.

  You can, but it is best to install WSS SP1 Integrated setup.  This is called the slipstream install that installs both RTM and SP1 version of WSS.  In fact we recommend installing Slipstream for WSS for all installs.
  
  If you upgrade to WSS SP1 via WindowsUpdate you may need to re-enable NT Authentication on IIS for the default website.

  Following these directions helped with getting Sharepoint working on my machine, but running Report Server on the Default Web Site, together with WSS SP1, did not seem to work at all.
  
  I created a new website and used the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to move the two virtual directories over to my new website.
  
  Even after doing this however, I still had to run Filemon (from www.sysinternals.com) to find out where I was getting Access Denied errors for the NETWORK SERVICE account.
  
  Perhaps I didn't have my AppPool identity set the same was as others would have it, but I did in any case get the installation to work in the end.
  
  
  Good luck to all Beta 3 users!

  Is SharePoint installed as a web farm (i.e. the database side of it hasn't be configured.) The TFS installation will configure the DB side for you, so don't configure that yourself.

  Hi, I've struggled with this exact problem for a day now. Reinstalled, rebooted and so on. The problem was fixed by first uninstalling MSDE for Sharepoint explicitly (don't know if just that solved it though) and then uninstalling Sharepoint Services. Then re-install Sharepoint Services as follows (taken from WindowsSharePointServicesAdmin.chm):
  
  

  1. Run STSV2.exe to extract the installation files.
  2. When the Windows SharePoint Services installation starts, click Cancel.
  3. Click Start, and then click Run.
  4. In the Open box, type c:\folder\setupsts.exe remotesql=yes (where c:\folder is the path to the Setupsts.exe file on your local computer).

     For example, if you installed the US English version of STSV2.exe, then the folder is c:\program files\STS2Setup_1033.

  5. Click OK.

     The Windows SharePoint Services Setup program opens.

  6. On the End-User License Agreement page, review the terms, and then select the I accept the terms in the License Agreement check box, and then click Next.
  7. On the Type of Installation page, click Server Farm, and then click Next.
  8. On the Summary page, verify that only Windows SharePoint Services will be installed, and then click Install.

  After this, TFS Installation started up!
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  Regards

  A random guess here: After installing Sharepoint and before installing Team System, did you go to Windows Update to get the latest security patch for Sharepoint
  
  

• Anurag Banka

  Followed all of the above advice and still get the same error:
  "Windows Sharepoint Services is not configured as recommended by Team Foundation Server."
  
  Any other suggestions.  I've done this from a clean install twice now.

  I rebooted and my first problem went away.
  
  Connected to the database using Team Explorer. That worked fine but...
  
  I get the follow error when i tried to create a new project:
  
  New Team Project Wizard encountered the following error and could not continue:
  
  Error
  Insuffiicient permissions on the Windows Sharepoint Services at TEAMSERVER to create a new site.
  
  Is this related to the NT Authentication on IIS
  
  I'm logged in as an administrator.
  
  I can't login to Sharepoint Central Administration which is weird. It wants a localhost/xxxx login.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Ted

  That is what I have installed... WSS with SP1 setup.

  Read the installation guide.
  
  "When the installation is complete, a Web browser window opens and displays the Configure Administrative Virtual Server page. After confirming that the page appears, close the browser window without making any changes. Later, Team Foundation Server Setup will configure Windows SharePoint Services for you."
  
  I am guessing you configured WSS at the end of the WSS installation by creating a configuration database and/or extended a site.  No need to do that.

  I rebooted several time but it still doesn't work.

  Hi Eric,
  
  I did the same thing and got the same error.
  
  Just so people know where we are at:
  
  Installed IIS, SQL, Sharepoint services etc. We load up the TFS CD and it complains about this right up front with the single server install. Asks whether we should continue or exit setup. Says that the following components are not installed on the system (Sharepoint services w sp1). And of course Sharepoint is installed on the system.
  
  I'll try rebooting...:-)
