SharePoint install blocked due to compatibility issues on Windows 2008 R2
You'll get this message if you try to install SharePoint on a fresh install of Windows 2008 R2. As of this posting both MOSS packed with sp2 and the Kbase doc referenced in the message (KB962935) are not available. The workaround, however, is very simple.
"This program is blocked due to compatibility issues"
The problem in a nutshell is any MOSS install package be it the RTM or MOSS w/sp1 don't have the latest updates in it. Because you've presumably updated your Windows 2008 and 2008 SQL Server with the latest patches, you can't install MOSS unless you repackage it with the SP2 update files. The instructions below explain how to, in a sense, repackage your MOSS install bundle with the latest updates.
1. Create a temp directory... C:\Temp2
2. Download the 2007 Microsoft Office Servers Service Pack 2 (SP2)
3. Start > Run and paste in the line below
C:\Temp2\officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:C:\Temp2\
4. Go to your SharePoint install and delete all the files in the "Updates" folder
5. Copy all the extracted files from step 3 to the Updates folder.
6. Install!

Główną możliwością stanie się wykrycie szablonu faktury obcojęzycznej oraz wpisanie jej na komputerze. Pewien spośród nas wie, iż teraz bez problemu będzie jest dozwolone rychło okazywać fakturę. Drzewiej jej formowanie stało raczej czasochłonne, szczególnie podczas gdy wszystkim należy stało parać się odręcznie. Chwilowo aczkolwiek wypisanie faktury to mierny kwestia, dlatego też przypatrzmy się bliżej temu, gdy można szybko fakturować. Głównie powinno się podać do wiadomości, że wspomagają mnie w tym komputery, które aktualnie na dobre zadomowiły się w naszych firmach.

Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your site in internet explorer, would test this… IE still is the market leader and a large portion of people will miss your great writing because of this problem.
