SharePoint 2010 on Windows 7 Exception – UserProfileException: Unrecognized attribute ‘allowInsecureTransport’
Posted: November 23, 2009 Filed under: Administration, Hotfixes, SharePoint 2010, Troubleshooting 5 Comments »If you tried installing SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 on Windows 7 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) shortly after its release; you may have ran into the following error:
Failed to create sample data.
An exception of type Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException was thrown. Additional exception information: Unrecognized attribute ‘allowInsecureTransport’. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive. (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebClients\Profile\client.config line 56)
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileException: Unrecognized attribute ‘allowInsecureTransport’.
This error is caused by a known issue with Token Authentication and WCF. A fix has been released and is now available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166231.
If you didn’t uninstall after receiving the error, simply install the hotfix, and re-run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard.
Very handy, thank you.
can you share how you got sharepoint to install on windows 7?
Sure; for the most part I followed the instructions on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx
I'll admit that some of the steps where not very clear. I'll try putting together some specific details later today.
This is not only in Windows 7. This is bug in SharePoint 2010 BETA version. So, you need to install the WCF fix in all SharePoint 2010 servers whatever may be the OS.
