Installing SharePoint 2013 Preview


Installing SharePoint 2013 Preview


This post will cover step by step stand-alone installation of SharePoint 2013 Preview on an AD environment.

Launch the splash file


Click on Install Software Prerequisites


Accept the License Agreement , Click on Next


Installs the prerequisite


Click on Finish, this will reboot the Machine

On Reboot, it will continue the prequisite configuration


Prerequisites Installation Complete, Click on Finish


To Install SharePoint Server, Click on Install SharePoint Server


Enter the Product Key, Click on Continue


Accept the License Terms and Click Continue



This is important , if you want to configure a Farm, Select Complete or Else Stand-alone which will install SQL 2008 R2 Express with SP1.

Note: This has a limitation of 8 Gb on the database. In my case, I have just selected standalone as this was quick look through

Select whatever you would like to achieve and Click Install Now


This Process may consume around 30 minutes



Installation is Complete, Click on Close to Launc the Product Configuration Wizard


Click Next

Prompts that it will stop the listed service during Installation, Click Next



May consume another 20-30 minutes, Click on Finish

Note: If it's a standalone install, it will create the web application on its own and Allows you to select the Site Template


What I noticed is the installation hasn't changed for stand-alone. I'll test the Complete Installation for connecting other servers in a Farm.
