Installation order for SharePoint Service Packs and Language packs

To get up to speed with the latest version of SharePoint Server 2007 (English version) including the Dutch language pack you should follow this installation order:

  1. Start with MOSS 2007 including SP1
  2. Install Service Pack 2 for WSS 3.0(English)
  3. Install Service Pack 2 for MOSS 2007(English)
  4. Install Language Pack Dutch for WSS 3.0
  5. Install Language Pack Dutch for MOSS 2007
  6. Install Language Pack Service Pack 2 for WSS
  7. Install Language Pack Service Pack 2 for MOSS 2007

Afterwards you need to start the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. It will probably ask you to run the Wizard a couple of times but you can cancel this and run the wizard after installing all the binaries.

PS I recommend going 64-bit for fresh installs of SharePoint Server 2007 given the fact that SharePoint Server 2010 will be  x64 only …
