I made a customer installation of Sharepoint Foundation 2013 recently. Naturally I used the latest Slipstreamed Microsoft package with Service Pack 1.
Sure everything looks fine at first, but after first site collection is up and running I notice that the searchbox is missing. Sure, maybe a glitch, runs new full crawl, but nothing changes. Tries to create a new search center site, site creator throws a sorry my way.
Tries to create my own custom page and add the search webpart and get another fun message “Common Language Runtime detected an invalid progam”.
Ok, maybe language is an issue, installs localization pack for swedish and creates new site collection. Same error.
After searching for information on the issue someone makes me aware of the fineprint of Slipstreampackaged Foundation downloadpage
First time that field contained any relevant information!
Searching on forums shows a few MS-cases that all indicates that this is an issue which will be fixed in the April CU. So we have to wait I tell the customer, looking like a noob cause they don’t want to put in the extra time for a reinstallation sans SP1.
But today I found an update that solved the issue! Curiously not by googling but in my rssfeeds…
Hero of the day is: KB2760625 March 2014 PU for SharePoint Foundation 2013
Note the package is claiming to aimed at Sharepoint Enterprise Server but it worked nicely on my Foundation.
