This is Yet Another Blog on how to properly install & configure a SharePoint 2007 development client installation. I've read many different blogs and noticed pretty substantial inconsistencies and invariably most come to the conclusion that Your Mileage May Vary.

OSes

• Windows 2008 Server 64 bit for the Dev Server
• One configuration that didn't work for the Dev Client - Windows 7 RC1 (Build 7100) 64 bit (HP Compaq workstation, 2gb ram); the reason that I need to have a client/server is due to a limitation of Visual Studio 2008 and VS 2010 Beta 1's SharePoint Workflow Project creation running on a 64 bit OS - http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=325668
• Dev Client - Windows XP SP3, dual core E2220 CPU at 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM
