Hi - I just got the e-mail from Microsoft with the link to download Vista
RC1. Is Build 5536 RC1?

Thanks

Joe

Hello Joe727,

No 5536 is not RC1. Build 5536.16385 is the Pre-RC1 build that was released
to the technical testers last week. If you want to download and install it,
please do. It will help MS greatly with the bugs that the public files. Also
if you do install see my post "suggestion for 5536"

I just saw "pre-" in front of RC1.

Not sure I understand what key to use. I have the 20 char key.
Is that the key I use for the download?

This link lets me downlaod an ISO but it is only 907 bytes. I don't
understand what this ISO is. My ISO tools don't seem to recognize the
format. Yet I'm familiar with other ISO's. Not sure what is going here.

Thanks

Hello JCO,

Try redownloading with out the download manager. It is slower but as far
as I know it works.

Same here, try the direct link, since the d/l-manager - or what ever - seems
to be broken!

It's finally working. Just took 20-30 trys before it recognized the correct
size and began to download. Also, I installed DAP (my old version 5.3 is my
favorite) as a download manager. That way I was able to right click on the
link and had the option "Download with DAP". I selected that... and it
began to download correctly too.

DAP is a free download manager.
