well that was a lot easier then the xp beta, extract from my very short user responce from

"on installation of vista 32beta recived "cant copy files from source to selected destination, error 80070241", hmm i thought that looks a familar code, on receiving that i  consulted the forums and it turns out that the download is corrupt, hmm i thought ill try the 64 bit version which i also d/l'd as well and got the same result......  i see your distrubution method is as shambolic as it was for xp beta when i recieved a disc direct from you that was also corrupt, nice one bill!!!!!!

i hope the final version is a lot easier to install, and as per usual it turns out that the everyday joe is having problems and as usual it will take an sp in the first few months to sort out again!!!!"



/rant over :biggrin:

D/Led it, but couldn't bring myself to install it as various people had sadi online that when they tried to dual boot it with thier XP (or other) install it messed things right up.

Also it really didn't love burning. Download seemed fine, but Nero only actually burned 128MB to a DVD, then claimed it was done (had moaned about the block size being wrong), and the XP builtin burning software refused to love the physical media (a new disk from the one I tried in Nero), said it was unusable. God knows why, I proceeded to use the exact same disk (in Nero) to burn my Steam backup, no probs.
