As you may or may not know, the first release candidate of SharePoint 2010 is just around the corner. Here are the pre-requirements for SharePoint Server 2010, RC 1, build 4730:
- Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client
- Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB976462)
- Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
- Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 (x64)
- Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
- Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET
- Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime (x64)
- Microsoft Server Speech Recognition Language - TELE(en-US)
- SQL 2008 R2 Reporting Services SharePoint 2010 Add-in
As you can see, the prerequisites now include the WCF hotfix, and the prerequisites installer tool will download and install that for you.
Notice also the speech platform requirements. I’ll dig a bit further to figure out what this means.
