Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Update [05/26/2006]: Thanks to the rapid response from our MSCOM Web team, WSS V3 Beta 2 is now available as a separate downloading from the 2007 Office System Preview Site.

 

We’ve received several inquiries from people, who could not find Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2 as a separately available download on the 2007 Office System Preview Site. FYI, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 includes an integrated (i.e. cannot be separated) installation of WSS V3 Beta 2. Unfortunately, the links to the WSS V3 Beta 2 files were inadvertently omitted from the Preview Site’s download page, but it will be fixed soon. Until then, the table below contains the direct download links for the respective WSS V3 Beta files.

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

These links open up to Microsoft's OWA home page.  The actual location is appended to the end of the URL so you just have to copy the URL that points to the .exe.

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Hi

The readme included with the download of WSSv3 SDK (WSS3SDK.EXE) makes mention of SDK documentation in a format for Visual Studio 2003/2005 help viewer (WSS3SDK4VS.EXE).  I can't seem to find this version of the SDK available for download.  Is there a link that can be provided for this also?

Cheers

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Anyone know where we can get the issue tracking template that should ship with WSS 3.0 ?
Saturday, June 24, 2006 5:25 AM by Ray

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Hi... I'm trying to translate my WSS 3.0 to Portuguese (pt-BR).

But, some words in .resx that I change aren't work. It's still being showed in English.

For example: the "Cancel" text.
I have translated all "Cancel" to "Cancelar". But nothing happened.

There are any other files for translate ALL texts in SharePoint?

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Rajesh, WSS V3 (and consequently, MOSS 2007) requires Windows Server 2003 and will not install on Windows XP.

# re: Where to download Windows SharePoint Services V3 Beta 2

Thanks,
Looks much better than the last version.
Suggestion: We are playing around with it and noticed that you are using a nice role based admin model to control the "Views" of what you can and cannot do in the ADMIN site. It too us a while to realise we didn't as a regular user (but site admin) have privilages to create a NEW sharepoint site (as this required you to have admin rights on the server). Once that was done the user can now see the menu option to add sharepoint to a site.
Can I suggest that at least for the ADMIN site that ALL options are visible and if you don't have privilage to use that appear grey.
This would have saved us 20mins looking for the button we had seen earlier when connected as System admin.

Thanks.

Is SPPS (Portal Server) Beta available also?  I installed WSS Beta for 2007, but cannot find the Business Intelligence (BI) and other features I want to demo.
