Welcome to setup SharePoint Environment Article. This tutorial is for the administrator and also developer who are interested to build a stand-alone development environment to build SharePoint web application. I will show here step by step the complete installation procedure of MOSS and pre-requisites installation. I only attached the most important screen shots for installation and avoided all unnecessary screen-shots because the procedure is little bit longer.
1. You have to install Windows Server 2003 with SP2 enterprise or standard edition depending on production and development environment. Here I installed enterprise edition. (Note: You can install Virtual Environment instead of install actual server )
2. windows security update including all latest security patch
3. Install SQL Server 2005 and update with SP2
