So it won't install eh? Run this command to extract the files, then just run the files. Seems the installer wrapper is messed up:
- en_fast_search_server_sharepoint_2010_beta_x64_x16-29476
/extract:c:\temp
This will extract the files to the temp directory, then you do the following:
- Run PrerequisiteInstaller
- Run fsserver
After running fsserver, you will have a new directory on your server called c:\FASTSearch, you will need to do the following:
- Add "C:\FASTSearch\installer\scripts" to your path
- Open SharePoint 2010 Management console
- Run the following:
- Psconfig.ps1 –action i –roleName single –userName contoso\administrator –localMachineName <servername> -databaseConnectionString “<dbservername>” –databaseName FASTSearch
As Emeril would say "BAM", you got FAST Search INSTALLED! Woohoo!
HINTS:
- If you uninstall FAST Search using "psconfig -action u", you will lose a file called "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ULS\14\ULSControllerService.exe"
- The fix for this is to uninstall the ULS components, then reinstall them again. The file will return and you can reinstall/config FAST Search
Enjoy,
