As we all know, SharePoint 2010 is still using the .NET Framework 3.5. That means that your servers may not have the latest .NET Framework 4.0 installed. This could cause some issues if you're trying to use APIs from 4.0, or if you are trying to build some new tools using 4.0, like PowerShell management extensions for example. The solution is to install 4.0 on your server. Here's the quick Step-by-Step for doing this on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 system with SharePoint 2010 installed.

This one was undocumented in SharePoint 2007 / WSS 3.0 and is still undocumented in SharePoint 2010 / SPF. I posted about this back in 2007 for the previous version, but was asked the same question in the SharePoint Support Forums. A little digging and firing off a test confirmed that the command has stayed intact for the latest version as well. Using STSADM from a command windows:
STSADM -o setproperty -pn max-template-document-size -pv 524288000

This one was a BEAR to work through. There’s not much out there for it and everywhere I turned it seems everyone else was either having the same problem OR suggestion we “start with a clean install”. Nice suggestion that last one. Almost like… try rebooting the computer… but I digress. With three simple hacks, the install can be “guided” to complete successfully. So hopefully this guide will help some other poor soul save some time when they run into the same issue.

I hope this saves somebody some time and frustration out there.
This is a prerequisite to Installing PowerPivot for SharePoint into an EXISTING SharePoint Farm. PowerPivot seems to work just fine being installed together with a clean install of SharePoint, but when you already have SharePoint installed and try to add PowerPivot… all hell breaks loose. I was never able to find proper documentation on how to pull this off and managed to hack and debug my way through it like Holmes unraveling a mystery. Hopefully this will save someone else some time and frustration…
