Two packages that had been missing showed up at my office door, merely delayed by the Christmas shipping rush, and not lost. One was a retail package of Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite, and it installed almost perfectly.The other was a burned DVD-R of a VSTS/TFS Virtual PC. It didn’t install: there was a CRC error in the last of 7 large files. However, I was able to copy the 6 good files from this DVD to a file server, and then add the 7th file from a previous copy of this DVD that had CRC errors in other files. Once I had a complete set assembled on a server, I was able to install the image with no problem, and run the image successfully in Microsoft Virtual PC. I’ll be rolling up my sleeves this week and diving into the review. Software Development
