Installing Office SharePoint Server 2007 on Windows Server 2008

This is a little more difficult than you might expect as the standard Office SharePoint Server 2007 installation is blocked by W2K8, with a pre-requisite for installing OSS 2007 being OSS 2007 SP1.  To obtain this seemingly non-existent software installation you have to do the following things:

1) Take a copy of either the x86 or x64 folder from the OSS 2007 installation DVD and put it on the local server

2) Download the appropriate WSS 3.0 SP1 and OSS 2007 SP1

3) Extract both service packs to the "Updates" folder which is a sub folder of the OSS 2007 installation folder ("file.exe /extract" will do it.  In case you don't know this, you can drag a file onto the run bar if you want and then you can add the "/extract" on the end

4) Run "Setup.exe" from the installation folder.
