This week I decided to test the March CTP of Visual Studio code-named ‘Orcas’. So I started with a google search for the the download page, I found two:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Microsoft Pre-release Software Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” – March Community Technology Preview (CTP) (Self-extracting Install)<\/a>: contains 7 archives totalling\u00a04.5GB<\/li>\n
  2. Microsoft Pre-release Software Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” – March 2007 Community Technology Preview (CTP)<\/a>: has 9 archives totalling 6.2GB<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Faced with two possibilities I tried understanding the differences between them, and eventually I thought the first one should be more appropriate to download, because is smaller in size and is self-extracting. So I left my laptop running over night and second day I had all the files. I uncompressed them and started the installation on my PC under Windows XP. But surprize, the installation failed, with the error signature:<\/p>\n

    EventType : visualstudio8setup
    \nP1 : 10826
    \nP2 : 9.0.20209.00_orcas_x86_net
    \nP3 : pr
    \nP4 : inst
    \nP5 : f
    \nP6 : microsoft web designer tools
    \nP7 : baseret_unknown
    \nP8 : –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
    \nP9 : 30066
    \nP10 : –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Eventually, after consulting the MSDN forum for the installation of ‘Orcas’<\/a> I realized that I’m not the only one having that error, and that the other version should be the correct one. So, I left my laptop run once again over night and downloaded the 6.2GB. But surprize: after uncompressing, I realized that I need Virtual PC to install this one, and an additional download of Orcas Base Image<\/a>, a file of about 1GB. That made me give up and return to the first download: I tried installing it on my laptop, under Vista Ultimate and guess what: it worked like a charm (except that the installation process seemed to be much slower than under XP).<\/p>\n

    Thus, it took me several days to get Orcas up and running. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
