title: Error while installing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 on Windows 7 machine
body: <p>I've installed Microsoft SharePoint 2010 on my Windows 7 64bits machine. I've modified the config.xml file to accomplish this.</p>
  
  <p>Once it's installed I run the Configuration Wizard to create a new site and it throws me the following exception:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
