Solve Sharepoint2010 Configuration Wizard in Step 5

After installing the prerequisites for Sharepoint2010 and running the Configuration Wizard an error occured in Step 5 registering the Sharepoint Server Search services.

Deleting the following two registry keys will enable the Configuration Wizard to finish.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\Services\Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchWebServiceManagerService]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchWebServiceManagerServiceProxy]

MOSS2007: Error adding a New WebPart

What to do when this error occurs when you need to add a new webpart to your gallery of webparts.

The error:

File Not Found. at System.Signature._GetSignature(SignatureStruct& signature, Void* pCorSig, Int32 cCorSig, IntPtr fieldHandle, IntPtr methodHandle, IntPtr declaringTypeHandle)

The cause of this error is caused probably for two reasons:

  1. You are using either the SmartPart webpart of Jan Tielens.
  2. Or ASP.NET Ajax is not installed on the SharePoint server.

All you need to do to correct this is download ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0, install it… and do a IISRESET.

 

Good luck.
