    A quick update.

    The self extracting install fails on my PC when installing .NET 3.5. Not surprising as I have all versions of .NET and many versions of Visual Studio installed. The files are slightly too large to fit on one DVD which is a shame.



    I will download and try the Virtual PC image (1.1GB base image + 4.5GB differential image) tonight.
