As many may be aware of (you should anyways) then Rosario has been released for CTP over at Connect:

How long is it going to take? I am stuck with one more file, I hope you guys dont change the split files and cause us to download everything all over again !!

The April 2008 Rosario CTP links referred to by Mr. Madsen have been dead since that evaluation period expired. They didn't replace the files with ones with an extended period, like for this oops, or make a tool available that would reset the installed CTPs date, so no CTP was available for weeks. If MS does want to cobble a tool like this together for future releases, available through Connect, it could even do a check whether a new version was available and notify rather than extending.

Personally, I prefer to see expiration dates relative to the time actually installed, not the release date of the package, and then expire only if new test version is available or the package has gone RTM. Given the current download size, some effort to putting a smaller MSP or MSU package together for a prior VHD, along with the full package RARs, would cut down update time significantly, I'd think.

Just a couple cents.

would it be possible to make it one file? because now i have to come 6 times to a site to download all files (more than two files aren't downloading somehow at the time)

It is nearly 2 pm EDT, is there an update of when the image will be available for download? Thanks!

# James said on October 31, 2008 1:56 PM:

Read the blog entry guys - you WILL have to re-download, they've repackaged it 'cause someone left private symbols in the original.  I got 7/11 parts, really annoying :(

# Mark Shiffer said on October 31, 2008 3:07 PM:

I have the full CTP that was originally posted up and running. The evaluation period, as you mentioned, is set to only 14 days. Is there any way to fix that without having to download the entire set of bits again? A product code that can be given to activate these instances?

Also, regarding the PDC version that was given on the hard drives, I am assuming it has the evaluation period issue as well?

Thanks.

How are things going - another update please?

# Sudhir said on October 31, 2008 3:59 PM:

It is 4 PM EST. Do you want us to wait more. can you let me know when download will be available?

I don't want to wait over the week-end. It sucks

# Othmane Rahmouni said on October 31, 2008 4:06 PM:

Almost there! Thank you for your continued patience.

# Christopher Painter said on October 31, 2008 5:02 PM:

I had previously downloaded the CTP but didn't write the passwords down.   Can that information be available first?

# Othmane Rahmouni said on October 31, 2008 5:37 PM:

Great. All I had was one missing part. Downloaded it and now CRC check failed. There goes 7GB of my bandwidth and a weekend spoiled !!

# François Rossello said on October 31, 2008 8:36 PM:

Thanks guys for give us a second chance to get this CTP :)

# Mohib said on November 1, 2008 1:14 AM:

I started downloading the new parts and my AV (Eset) said there is a virus in it.

11/1/2008 10:38:39 AM Real-time file system protection file D:\Temp\VisualStudio2010CTP_11PartsTotal.part01.exe.jc! a variant of Win32/Spy.Agent.PZ trojan cleaned by deleting - quarantined NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Event occurred on a new file created by the application: C:\Program Files\FlashGet\flashget.exe.

Anybody else getting the same?

It’s been a week since we released ( and then re-released ) the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework

不知道有多少人，也在用这个Win2008 自带的虚机的。 在我第一次将VS2010导入的时候，还不能使用， 在我正准备放弃的时候，在国外的Blog上看到了解决方法。 赶紧尝试了一下，也送给需要的朋友

# gilbert chauvaux said on November 27, 2008 8:32 AM:
