SharePoint 2010 Pre-Install Download Links

As described in my post on SharePoint 2010 – Setup requirements, while PSConfig Wizard is running, additional software components are required.
For environments where Servers are not connected to internet for security reasons this makes it a bit difficult but I’ll provide the links for download them manually to install.

NOTE!

This post applies to the current public Beta version! When its RTM it will be available from the setup splash screen on point
when you click “Learn more about these prerequisites“ in the pre-req installer tool.  I’ll update this article when its applicable.

SharePoint Server

The following is needed for installation on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008.

• Full package


• KB 959209 ;  KB 967190  (updates for the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1)
