2. Install the “Public November 2004 Avalon CTP Release.msi”.
3. This will create a folder @ ……\My Documents\MSDN\Public November 2004 Avalon CTP Release, which has iso CD image: “en_winfx_sdk_ctp.iso”.
4. The first step is to generate a CD from file en_winfx_sdk_ctp.iso. An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of a CD, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank CD-R resulting in an identical copy of the original CD including file name and volume label information.
5. The contents of images files can be extracted to hard drive using utilities such as ISObuster or DaemonTools. Image files can be mounted locally using the Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP.
6. I used the tool “Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel” and once you mount locally, run the CD and install the Avalon and WinFX SDK.
7. The installation instructions on the CD will direct you to install Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 from the Visual Studio 2005 CD Set. If you do not have access to Visual Studio Beta 1, please download and install Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta or Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta, both of which are available to the public.
8. After installation is complete, please run the provided batch file, "ConfigureAvalonForExpressSKUs.cmd", to configure the above tools for use with "Avalon".
Really Avalon CTP is rocking…… Try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
