Can we install SharePoint 2010 on Windows server 2012 - sharepoint-2010

One straight question.
Can we install SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2012??
If we can install, Can someone please provide with some links to proper documentation on how to install it?

Not yet. Service Pack 2 will allow support, but since there is not installation media for it yet, you cannot go directly to Service Pack 2. Once the Slip Stream Package for SP2 is release (or a full installation media), Server 2012 will be supported. I would watch this page for updates on that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2724471/en-us

Installing ArangoDB on Windows Server 2008

I'm having difficulty getting Arango 1.4.9 working on my Windows 2008 Standard (SP2) server. It's a fresh install. When I try to start Arango Server I receive this message:
The procedure entry point TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
I have tried both the 64bit and 32bit versions. I have run the installer as an administrator and vice versa. Any ideas?
TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive is from a newer Windows API. The Windows 2008r2 build uses newer Windows API features such as SRW (Slim/Reader Writer) API to improve performance. These are not available in Windows Server 2008.
I assume that you must recompile for Windows 2008 or ask for a suitable binary in the support forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/arangodb).

Sharepoint 2013 Install problems

I am trying to install Sharepoint 2013 on my test SERVER 2012 Server.
I have pre installed all the prerequisites but when i run the installer it says AppFabric is not configured correctly but i have set this up and also configured the AppFabric Cache.
I have unistalled this and tried using the sharepoint prerequisite installer but it skips the AppFabric installation.
I have installed all the roles needed for server 2012 to be a DC and have also installed SQL 2013 on the server.
The sharepoint installer keeps saying AppFabric is not configured correctly!
Very frustrating...i cannot proceed with any other installation until this is installed.
Any help would be greatful..
Hope this helps you, see that the string does not have any space, prerequisiteInstaller.exe /appfabric:Z:\Softwares**Sharepoint 2013PreRequisite**\WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64.exe, look this Sharepoint 2013PreRequisite remove the space. Look this link1

Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services

Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services I am getting this error:
I have tried both version (32-bit/64-bit) and re-downloaded multiple times.
How can I solve it ?
Check if you have .Net framework 4 installed at your machine. If not - download it and install it and then try again with SQL Server.
Also check this bug at Microsoft site about .Net framework 4 (there is workaround explained in the bug).
FWIW, I just downloaded and installed SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe from HERE on a vanilla Win7Pro/64 VirtualBox virtual machine and encountered no errors.
Edit
I also installed SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from that same location on an older Vista machine. The SQL Server installer told me that it needed some new .NET components, then it proceeded to download and install them. I didn't need to manually install anything ahead of time.
Also perhaps worth noting:
Both of the machines on which my installs were successful had no anti-virus software installed. (They are development boxes behind a firewall and I don't do email or web surfing on them.)

Sharepoint 2010 installation preliminaries

First of all sorry if this is a repost or is found to be duplicate.
I'm about to install sharepoint 2010 in my laptop for development. I'm using a laptop with win 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM, with vs 2010 installed.
I'm having SP2010 with SP1 standard license.
Have went to lot of pre-requisite advisory pages but haven't got a satisfactory/complete answer and hence decided to pen down my doubts here.
Below are my queries
Can i start by auto-running the CD (sorry if it sounds a lot stupid. kindly take note that i'm at beginning stage of SP2010 with VS programming background).
Can i connect to sql server 2005 (32-bit) from sp2010 after installation for programming. Is it possible technically.
Should i need to install sql 2005/2008 (64-bit) before installing SP2010 or can i install it after completing installation of SP2010.
PLEASE provide pointers if any so that i can have a hiccup free, successful installation of sp2010.
Edit:
Have downloaded a bunch of files from the below url
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
Can anyone advise which virtual machine i should use to run the vhd image for sp2010
Thanks :)
Installing on Windows 7 is not recommended and tends to run into some incompatibilities. Can you use a virtual machine? Here is a link which is useful for Win 7 installation.
Answering your questions:
You can install from the DVD or a mounted Image.
You can use SQL 2005 but only 64Bit.
You should install SQL server before installing SharePoint so it will be more automated

Sharepoint 2010 workflows via VS2010 - really need server installed locally?

I went to create a SP2010 Workflow project in VS2010, and it complained that I did not have SP Server installed on my machine.
Well, I do not want to install SP2010 on my dev machine. I have a perfectly good dev instance installed onto a VM.
Is it possible at all to design SP 2010 workflow projects in VS2010 without having a local instance of Sharepoint?
Cheers,
Daniel
Well, it looks like the answer is "No, you must have SP2010 installed locally"
Will VS let you continue after receiving that message?
Microsoft recommendation is to install Visual Studio on the your DEV VM (running Windows Server 2008 R2) that has SharePoint running. You'll also get additional debug features by doing this, like F5 debugging/breakpoints, and auto deploy/retract of your solutions.
