« Indigo Ghost Chase #1 - Service Deployme... | Main | Commentary on - "Is the C# Party Over?" »

If you're wondering if there are redistributables for the Indigo/Avalon Beta 1 RC, there are! You can find them here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b789bc8d-4f25-4823-b6aa-c5edf432d0c1&displaylang=en

I'm installing this on a test client machine that I don't want littered with the entire Visual Studio installation for verifying some of my Indigo builds. We shall see...later...if I can as easily uninstall this build when (if) I need to revert to the 2005 bits on the same rocking 2GB RAM machine that I am so happy I have now for running all my VPCs.

But don't confuse this download with a full installation that includes samples and SDK. If you want to play with these bits in the Visual Studio environment, do the following:

  1. Install the Indigo/Avalon Beta 1 RC Win SDK (this link is on the same download page, but can be tricky to find if you don't read carefully).
  2. Install Visual Studio 2005 (since you have installed a later version of the runtime to the machine, Visual Studio will point to those bits).

I have been able to do this with the Visual Studio Team Client edition and the Visual Studio Standard edition, without any problems thus far.
