I've installed Microsoft SharePoint 2010 on my Windows 7 64bits machine. I've modified the config.xml file to accomplish this.
Once it's installed I run the Configuration Wizard to create a new site and it throws me the following exception:
An exception of type
System.IO.FileNotFoundException was
thrown. Additional exception
information: Could not load file or
assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel,

cannot find the file specified.

Note: I don't have the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 64bits installed, but SharePoint 2010 seems that installed its necessary components.
