Following the article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx I tried to setup development environment for SharePoint 2010 in Windows 7(64 bit) machine. After installing all the prerequisites mentioned and enabling the windows features, I moved to install SharePoint 2010. I am having SharePoint foundation 2010 and when I run the setup.exe am getting an error:

"The language of this installation package is not supported by your system"

I suggest you to go through this SharePoint 2010 "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system"

Following the instructions works. No need to re-gurgitate… however this little supposed “unsupported language” problem cropped up… well I should really have RTFM, try to install install the hotfix before running the configuration wizard.

Hope this help.

Unpack the zip file using WinRAR rather than windows default extractor. it worked for me.
