I have built a farm version 14.0.4763.1000 Enterprise. I have also attempted to install SQL Server 2008 R2 PowerPivot for SharePoint for a new server and existing farm and continue to get prompted that SharePoint Foundation installed and not SharePoint Server. I am certain that it is SharePoint Server 2010 since I document every step. Next step I to escalate this to Microsoft Premier. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Cory Hi Fred,

I downloaded it directly from the MS site: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/R2Downloads.aspx I attempted to search for the installation folders to determine which version of SharePoint I installed, but I was unable to find the exact path that you reference in your screen shots.
