Whidbey Beta 2 and Windows Vista Beta 1

Thursday, August 4, 2005

Has anyone out there been successful in installing Whidbey Beta 2 Team Suite on Windows Vista Beta 1? I had an early failure which pretty much ruined it for the rest of the entire installation and was wondering if everyone else out there is in the same boat.

If so, are there any workarounds / solutions?

Share your DVD drive and install it from \\machinename\dvdshare. That should work (saw it in some blog post somewhere)

Yup, I cannot install from the Dvd too

Maybe I try the sharing method

This "sharing" method actually worked - mostly.

SQL Express did not install, and a few other components didn't either. Anyone else had these issues?
