Prerequisites for Upgrade
There are certain prerequisites to installing the Office SharePoint Server 2007 application on your server. If you launch the application setup, it will display a dialog box, as shown in Figure 24-2, stating that you do not have the prerequisites in place and need to install them before exiting.
The following are the steps that you want to implement in order to get ready for the installation:
The web server and application server computers must be running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, or Web Edition) with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and must have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and Microsoft ASP .NET 2.0.
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0.

Figure 24-2. Installation prerequisites information message
Enable Microsoft ASP .NET 2.0:
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click on Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
In the IIS manager tree, expand the tree and click the Web Services Extensions folder.
In the details pane, as shown in Figure 24-3, click ASP.NET v2.0.50727, and then click Allow.
If you have not already applied Service Pack 2(SP2) for SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you must do so before upgrading. You must install Service Pack2 for both Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
