What a pack of discs PDC brought. The graphic nerd in me sure had totest the goodies out with presentation foundation. If I only could thedamn thing to install! Tried a clean system with only Win XP SP2. Forone thing, the WinFX setup includes .NET 2.0 Beta 2 as well aspresentation, communication and workflow foundation, included are MSXML6 as well. After around 10 retries in different versions I gave up onXP. A VMWare Virtual Machine running Windows Vista build 5219 did thetrick. Finally got the basic presentation foundation to execute. It nowshows the sample app, but virtual is soooo slow.Next thing is to get Visual Studio and the WinFX SDK to run with VSadd-ons. Thank god for VMWare snapshots, at least it’s easy to rollback to a known good version for each step. When I eventually get thisto work I will sure tell you the exact order.(By the way, Dell make crappy machines. Why encapsulate a standardgraphics card in it's own drivers, making it impossible to test betadrivers for vista? Gaaaahhhh!)
