View Full Version : Anyone got Win7 RC to download successfully?

I got a notification email from MS saying my Beta copy of Windows 7 is going to expire soon, please upgrade to the Release Candidate.

Fair enough. But I can't get the download to finish successfully, it always goes corrupt at 99% (after over 3GB of download time/bandwidth).

It installs some download manager (ActiveX), which does the download, but right at the end reports that the downloaded file is corrupt.

I have tried it 3 times from Win7 64-bit Beta (32-bit IE) and from XP 64-bit (32-bit IE also).

Can I download it without the Download Manager ActiveX?

Any thoughts?

Spudboy,

Mine downloaded fine - but it came from MSDN. Also was using 32 bit XP to download.

I dont think you can download without the ActiveX :mad:

I've got both 64bit and 32bit.. so if you can't get it any other way, give me a pm I'll burn it to disk and mail it to you!

Mark
