How you can install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions (VSeWSS) for none-Windows 2003 server OS. Of course since that's not supported you'll have to do small registry hack (but that's what developers do :-), right! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0] "Sharepoint"="Installed" I have tested it with WinXP and Windows Vista and it works! Before the hack it gives me "This product can be installed if Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 has been installed first." and after the hack it went fine. I think there're a lot of people who would like to try/use this option even if they fall for unsupported mode. 1. Start > Run, then type "regedit". 2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\]. 3. If [Web Server Extensions\12.0] doesn't exist, right click on [Shared Tools] and select New > Key and type in "Web Server Extensions"
