I keep trying to setup 207 on my new vm. When I run the config wizard (as local admin or domain acct with admin rights) I get an error that says "Configuration Failed". If I go into sql management studio, I see SharePoint_config. In my event viewer, I see the following: Failed to create the configuration database. An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException was thrown. Additional exception information: One or more types failed to load. Please refer to the upgrade log for more details.

1-Go back to the fresh installation of OS in your VM if it is possible. then go to 3 2-if not, create a new instance of sql, and try again in your VM. 3-Make sure you have all the recommneded domain service accounts set up with right to the SQL server prior running config. At minimum, you need to have at least one domain user which is admin to all sql and sharepoint servers, and has create db right at the sql server. Sara

Thanks, how do I create a new instance of SQL?

I am actually getting the error on a lot of vms. I am trying everything, so I made a new vm and didn't hook it up to the domain. I installed sql server on it, and there was no domain controller. I just used the dev\administrator account. I got the same error. The db was created, but there is no iis site.

Hi jaredmill, Have you installed the Office 2010 in your vm? If so please uninstall it, then try to run Configuration Wizard again. The issue appears to be associated to having the new Office 2010 beta (specifically InfoPath 2010) installed. More information please refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tmathis/archive/2009/11/03/spupgradeexception-one-or-more-types-failed-to-load-exception-when-running-configuration-wizard.aspx.Best regards. Emir

Thanks, it was office 10!
