So heres a tip, if you try to install SharePoint 2010 on Server 2008 R2 when you run the “Install software prerequisites” step it will fail. It took me a little why to realize why, I first tried to disable my firewall, and then UAC, etc. But nope, all you have to do is disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. That simple, just goto “Server Manager”, scroll down a little ways to Security and there is an icon on the right that says “Configure IE SEC”, and just turn it off. If this is going to be a production server, when you are done installing it is a good idea to turn this back on as to avoid any potential security issue.
Well thats simple right? To bad the errors you get from the prerequisite installer don’t say anything, and getting an error 13 showing in your logs which translates to “Bad Data” is not very helpful either.
