I have problems trying to install Sharepoint Server 2010 on a virtual machine with Windows 7.
What I did:
1) Mounted the sharepoint image file to virtual drive
2) Copied the files from virtual drive to C:
3) Changed the file Files\Setup\config.xml, adding
<Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>
as described in the microsoft tutorial
4) Ran the setup from the C: files and tried to run the prerequisites.
What I get: an error ;) The log shows:
