In this blogpost I want you to guide you trough the installation process of SharePoint 2013 preview, as it is released 16 July 2012. I simply execute this installation on our test rig running on Windows server 2008 and a seperate SQL Server 2008 server as database. First priority is to get the thing up and running, so we can start our functional tests, and blog also about the business and functional site of SharePoint 2013. First of all you had to download the image of SharePoint at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx? wt.mc_id=TEC_121_1_33 and connect the image to your virtual machine (I am expecting you are using a virtual server). Our test rig is using VMWARE ESC technology so I upload the IMG file to our datastore, rename it to ISO and connect it to one of our test VMs in this case TLG03. Now I have the image available as a CD drive.

First thing what attracts my attention after opening the CD drive, is the setup.exe, with the new Office logo as icon. Why not give it a try and start installation imidiatly, manuals are for other people .
When I runs the setup.exe I got setup errors, a list of pre-requisites that are not installed. For the list of pre-requisites needed to install the product please refer to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230806. I close the message

Lucky enough, deliverd with SharePoint 2013, is the prerequisiteinstaller.exe, which I will execute in order to get all the pre requisites fixed.
The tool gives me an overview of the stuff that needs to be fixed before we can install SharePoint.

Select the server type you want. I tick Complete since I have a seperate server within this domain running SQL server 2008 for me. If you tick Stand-alone it will install everything at once on a single server, including an SQL Express edition. This last option is ideal if you want to run SharePoint on a single machine, just for testing reasons. Again I select Complete, the installation for Stand-alone might be slightly different.

Here is where I have to configure my database. I provide the right credentials for our test database SQL server.
Providing a Passphrase for the farm. This passphrase is used to secure farm configuration data and is required for each server that joins the farm. The passphrase can be changed after the farm is configured.
