Wow, that's a pretty kick ass response.

I knew it was only the installer that was the problem. Part of my issue was that I could never get the Beta 1 installer to work right on my machine. It always got nearly finished then said that the installation failed.

As for the differences? beta 2 is just less buggy and doesn't have as many of the slowness and hangs that beta 1 had. I've been running beta 1 then beta 2 on my computer at the office since they came out.

Thanks for the help! I'll post my results after I get through these instructions.

You must have missed it Bong has already posted a link via megaupload :P although the skydrive link is far nicer to download from.

John,

I have seen the link from Bong. Thank you Bong.

I just happened to run across that link to download directly from Windows Live shortly after while digging around, and figured people might prefer to download from the source.

	When it installs, it only goes through the first part then nothing. I went to the SysWoW64* folder location, but there was no MsiSources folder there. ???*

I had the same problem. Nor have I been able to find the .msi files on an XP system with it installed.
