    Oh Ok.:biggrin: I have a feeling it should be fine. I don't think it will uninstall all the media apps from the Enterprise. Hopefully.

    yep, a mistake has happened probably at MSDN. I downloaded new files when available showing release date 10/17
    Sorry for the inconvenience but corrected file will be up soon

    The non-vl versions use also the kms activation?

    And both the rtm and the vl iso were compiled on 21th August?
