How to install Project Server 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh (Beta 2 TR) ?

Important: Read this message carefully and completely before you apply the Beta 2 TR Update/Patch

The Beta 2 Technical Refresh release is an incremental revision to Beta 2 – it is applied as an “Update” or a “Patch” on top of a Beta 2 installation. So, there is no “full installation” of Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR. To install Beta 2 TR, you need to first install Project Server 2007 Beta 2 and then install the Beta 2 TR Update/Patch. If you already have a Beta 2 installation, you can just install the Beta 2 TR Update/Patch. There are 3 main installation scenarios:

  1. A new installation of Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR : This is for new users who do not have a previous Beta installation of Project Server 2007. This involves the following general steps:
    1. Install the Beta 2 version of Project Server 2007.
    2. Install the Windows SharePoint Services 2007 Beta 2 TR Update/Patch.
    3. Install the Project Server 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh Update/Patch.
  1. Upgrading from Project Server 2007 Beta 2 without data upgrade : This is for customers who were in the early stages of Beta 2 evaluation. They may have created some sample projects and timesheet entries, but data in Beta 2 is not important enough to carry over to Beta 2 Technical Refresh. This involves the following general steps:
    1. Install the Windows SharePoint Services 2007 Beta 2 TR Update/Patch.
    2. Install the Project Server Beta 2 Technical Refresh Update/Patch.
  1. Upgrading from Project Server 2007 Beta 2 with data upgrade : This is for customers who may have created a lot of data on Project Server 2007 Beta 2 for a pilot or a proof of concept. This involves the following general steps:
    1. Backup data from the Project Server 2007 Beta 2 installation (this is not just a database backup, it is a set of manual steps. Detailed instructions provided in the documentation).
    2. Install the Windows SharePoint Services 2007 Beta 2 TR Update/Patch.
    3. Install the Project Server Beta 2 Technical Refresh Update/Patch.
    4. Restore data on to the Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR installation.

Important things to note:

  1. Once you install the update/patch, it cannot be rolled back.
  2. If you plan to install the Project Beta 2 Technical Refresh update/patch onto a Beta 2 Server containing provisioned Project Web Access site(s), you need to delete those sites before the update/patch is applied.
  3. Project Server 2007 Beta 2 and Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR cannot exist on the same computer. This is not supported.
  4. Installing Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR and Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 TR on the same computer is not supported. If you have Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 on the same computer, and if you plan on upgrading and using the same computer, you will need to uninstall both and then install either Office Project Server 2007 Beta 2 TR or Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2 TR.

Data Upgrade:

“Data upgrade” from Project Server 2007 Beta 2 to Beta 2 TR is a manual process. Detailed step-by-step instructions, sample code, macros are available in the detailed documentation to help make your data upgrade a success. Read the documentation carefully before you attempt the data upgrade.

Detailed Documentation:

Detailed step-by-step deployment instructions can be found at: https://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/32a18803-52d2-4967-ab9d-0e199c9bf0041033.mspx (content would be available around Beta 2 TR general availability). Meanwhile, ask your Microsoft contact to get a draft copy of the detailed instructions.

    I am doing my beta 2 testing in the MS provided virtual PC (PS2007B2).  

    I read in the notes section that Project Server and SharePoint cannot be on the same server.  

    Will I be able to apply the TR to this environment or will another environment be provided?

    Will you be able to install Office Project Server 2007 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 on the same server on the final release?

    I'm trying to uninstall Project Server 2007 from Add/Remove programs and get the following: "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system". How do I fix this? Thanks!
