    Probably isnt important. But it is annoying when people tell us that its useless and waste of time but wont share the link. If it was so useless and a waste of time, they would just post the link. So they obviously think there is something to it but refuse to share it.

    Or they think it isn't worth sharing and don't want to risk their (friend's) job for it.

    Dammit how to say it's useless???
    Now it does not work at all. It can't go through the key page.
    We don't share it because we keep our promises. I personally promised I won't share it with anybody, and I shared with nobody.

    Because MS would know who their friends are? And it seems its already been shared with others already anyways or some of you wouldnt have it. You were obviously thinking you could get WCP early with it or you yourselves wouldnt have it

    But it was on a Microsoft site that was taken down. it wouldn't risk anybody's job at all, so what is there to lose? Give it to someone with experience and we can figure out how to fix it; and possibly even figure out other hidden things.

    None of what you say here is true - NONE. I got the installer from MS and it is tied to my account. The only reason I posted anything about it was to show that things are being worked on at MS in preparation for the 29th.

    Asking someone to break a promise just to please you is childish, selfish, and just plain wrong. This comment is direct to ALL who insist on asking for something they are not entitled too.

    In a couple of days the WCP should be available to all and hopefully we can all enjoy using/discussing it here.

    Don't make me have to repeat this post. I'm a retired Correction Officer and well versed in the use of handcuffs -'nuff said!

    You can't fix it, it tries to contacts some closed site I can't give the adress.
    And this installer is so useless. Going to report all beggin' posts, I think mods will have some work to do.

    AppData\websetup\Sources (setup files)

    I have the windows dev preview installer exe. Is that supposed to be the same one to work for wcp when it's released or does everyone else here have a different installer file?

    So sorry - I've extracted the file with 7zip, had renamed the downloaded installer to

    WindowsDeveloperPreviewOnlineSetup.exe (the original filename ???)

    What I learned from many forums is this, if people screenshot and boast about having something that everyone wants, but won't share it, they don't have it.

    Strange... Because I have it AND I don't share it. I think I gave enough proofs. I gave full review of it in Windows4live thread (now closed). Now if you don't believe me :rolleyes: Believe what you want.

    The only reason not to share something is because you don't have it, despite what 'proof' is shown, the only real proof is a link

    Excuses about it being useless / not working / might get caught, are BS, the only excuse is not having it

    Which would be equally as childish
