Setup errors encountered while Installing SP 2007 in a VM

 When I was trying to install SharePoint 2007 in a Virtual Machine for testing purposes I encountered several problems. Thought of documenting it down to help the wanderer!
 The setup I was using was a Windows 7 64bit machine with 6GB RAM and the virtual machine was Sun Virtual-box. I had setup Windows Server 2003 x64 and SQL Server 2005 was also installed.
 When I tried to run the SP2007 setup the setup gave me the following errors.
  • IIS 6.0 not installed
This can easily be solved  by going to add/remove windows components in the control panel.
  • Windows Workflow foundation not installed
 This was an error which occurs due to .NET framework 3.0 not being installed. You can find the .NET 3.0 here.
  • ASP.net feature missing
This is the tricky error! In order to resolve this you need to first install .NET 2.0 framework and configure these steps.
