MOSS 2007 Install

- download moss2k7 iso file from msdn
- install .net 3
- get all security updates from msft site

Allow the ISO file on the host system to be read into the guest OS. This way we need not copy it over or write the iso file into a DVD. It is actually faster.

Also Virtual PC is not supported on Vista Home premium (per microsoft). I did not have any issues till now.

MOSS install was pretty fast..trying to read the config book and understand it.
