CORRECT INSTALLATION ORDER FOR SHAREPOINT SERVER 2010, LANGUAGE PACKS AND OFFICE WEB APPS

-
In order to properly install these items, you must do things in the following order:




SharePoint 2010 RTM + SP1 (slipstreamed)

Configure Farm using PowerShell

Office Web Apps RTM + SP1 (slipstreamed)

Run SharePoint Config Wizard (PSConfig) on all severs

SharePoint 2010 Server Language Pack RTM + SP1 (slipstreamed)

Run SharePoint Config Wizard (PSConfig) on all servers

Install OCT 2011 CU (or current recommended CU)

Run SharePoint Config Wizard (PSConfig) on all servers (if you get errors here, so additional note below)

Installing in any other order may cause issues and some functionality to not work properly.



Additional Note: Sometimes after installing CU’s I’ve noticed errors when trying to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard (PSConfig), like in the screenshot below. In my case the PSConfig wizard was complaining about missing language packs and the CU files, which I could confirm had been installed properly and there before installing the CU. To fix this, I simply forced PSConfig through PowerShell – avoiding the GUI – and it worked like a charm!




psconfig.exe -cmd installcheck -noinstallcheck
