Download SharePoint Server 2016 Client Components SDK from Official Microsoft Download Center.

Just to clarify - a copy of Microsoft.SharePoint.dll will allow you to reference and compile against it but it won't actually work unless its running on a machine with SharePoint properly installed. A few options for you.

• You can - but it needs to run on a Windows Server OS (2003+). • You can download (for free again). • You can download a - basically a complete pre-configured virtual server - but you need Hyper-V or VMWare Server running on a 64 bit CPU to run this virtual server. • There is a - but its unsupported and the licensing/legal situation is unclear - very probably its in breach. • You could use then you won't need the dll or access to the SharePoint server apart through the web services - which assuming you can browse it you should be able to get. UPDATE: Option (3) is no longer available.

As workaround, you could download, and install SharePoint 2010 on it. Thanks a lot Ryan for the options.

I am considering SharePoint Web services at the moment and it looks good. Will also try out the VM option. What eludes me here is if I was building a client for SQL server I get drivers etc separately. But for SharePoint server why does a developer building a client needs to have access to the 'Server Installation'? Like I don't not need to know the installation details for SQL Server 2005 if I am building a client against it nor do I need to use any files from the server setup?

Am I coming across as very stupid here or is there a little bit of sense in it? – May 27 '10 at 14:43 •.
