I know, it's been a while since I've posted, but hey -- MOSS 2007 keeps me busy! And today, Microsoft has released
Beta 2 Technical Refresh patches for
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007,
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) V3, and
2007 Microsoft Office system.
Beta 2 Technical Refresh is a
patch, not a full installer.
To create a full installer for, say, MOSS 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh, you'd need to create a "slipstreamed" installer; in other words, patch the Beta 2 installer with the Beta 2 Technical Refresh bits. "How the heck do I do that?" I hear you cry...
A fellow MVP, Steve Smith, drafted a document outlining the procedure for creating a slipstreamed installer for MOSS 2007 B2TR (
hosted here by permission of the author). Based on that document, I created a
screencast to walk you through the slipstream procedure. It's quick and easy! First, you'll need the original MOSS Beta 2 installer files extracted to a folder on your hard drive. Then, download the B2TR patches for MOSS 2007 above. Finally,
watch my screencast! Then you can see (and hear!) for yourself just how easy it is.
