Windows Vista, part 3
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006
If you have been following this short series on the Windows Vista Beta 2 public trial you should 
now be ready to do the deed and install the new operating system on a PC; but first a couple of updates.
Microsoft has unexpectedly suspended new sign-ups to the trial, however, if you have already registered and received a product code you can still download the file until July 14th, so get your skates on.
If you are desperate to give it a try then there are a lot of "unofficial" copies floating around the web and if you know someone who is taking part in the trial you could ask them to help out, as each copy of the Beta can be installed on up to nine PCs.
Several readers have reported difficulties getting the DVD to load (see also Top Tip) and the most common problem is an error message saying "Cannot find installation file". This is quite common and there are two probable causes. The download is incomplete or corrupt or there are errors on the DVD. An easy way to check if it’s the former is the size of the file, which should be around 3.3Gb; anything less and you should try again. Telegraph | Connected | Bootcamp 432: Windows Vista, part 3
