I need the requirements on setting up the Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 on the operating system such as Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
As I was trying to install the essentials for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008, I keep receiving Setup Errors stating that the Setup cannot proceed because the system requires Windows Server 2008 SP2.
Where can I download it and what are the ways to resolve this?
Error:
Setup Errors
Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
This product requires Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 or above.
Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup.

Hi there Hadey,

The solution of your problem is quite easy – Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 requires one of the following operating systems installed on your server: Windows Server 2008 with SP2 for 32-bit servers, or Windows 7 or Windows Vista with SP2 for 64-bit servers.
