Error installing SharePoint 2010

Question

I try to install SharePoint 2010 on Windows 8.

There is a problem on step 7 of Configuration Wizard:

11/04/2012 19:12:28 8 ERR Failed to provision the SharePoint Central Administration Web Application. An exception of type System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was thrown. Additional exception information: Filename: \?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\34108\web.config Line number: 25 Error: Defined copy of the partition "system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler"

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800700B7): Filename: \?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\34108\web.config Line number: 25 Error: Defined copy of the partition "system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler"

What's wrong?

Answer 1

Max, check the version of .NET you have installed. Sharepoint 2010 requires .NET 3.5 and does not support 4.0.

"SharePoint 2010 does not support access from .NET Framework 4 or being run in a .NET Framework 4 app domain. If you must support the .NET Framework 4, we recommend that you develop a web service that uses the .NET Framework 4 and then connect to it from SharePoint. All server-side customizations directly for SharePoint 2010 still need to be either the .NET Framework 3.5 or the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1."

Answer 2

In my environment, the root cause is the SharePoing Web service has no permission to execute the Central Admin web application creation.
To solve this error I used the following method.

1. Clear the cache by opening drive:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\Guid and then delete all XML file and open cache.ini, then set the number to 1

2. open IIS and go to SharePoint Web Services, right click add permissions

3. add the domain user (I used domain admin) and grant full control

4. retrun the SharePoint wizard & finish the wizard
