time to install winhec build of lh

[cheeseyman]

Hey guys ive got the latest build which was the one from winhec and ive been up all night watching lh install it got upto the bit where it says it may take a hour to complete which i where im questioning, how long did it take for you to get past the 'May take up to a hour to complete' section so far its taken me 5 hours and i think ill just goto bed soon

PS. whats the setup actually doing at this point?

OK, just 2 things I want to say:

1) The only legit way to have this build is to have received it at WinHec.

2) The sort of people attending WinHec are there because they are supposed to understand the technologies and to get a head's-up on the new technologies.

That was very unhelpful / pointless post. I remember with the earlier build it did that to me, I just rebooted and it continued fine!

I was deliberately not rude. Just curious as to why the original pster needs our help whn a WinHec attendee should have all the resources available to deal with issues like this.

most people in this forum are going to have this lh build soon now its leaked. just accept it

It took me about 45 minutes from that point - installed fine first time, but I have to say I really don't like this beta. Things like internet explorer are just too chunky, and I appreciate its in beta, and probably aimed at 1600x1200 resolution, but just my opinion!

It's quite clear he was not at WinHEC. Don't be so naive.

Oh come on now... I don't really care whether you were there or not. I was only trying to help you in my post above.

prove him wrong and post an image of your winHEC pass and the longhorn cd and case it came in.

[Malisk]

For me it took maybe 45 minutes or so... Felt like a long time anyway. :)

Why don't you do like it says? Check if it's crashed or something with the task manager. I think it should be easy enough to see on the CPU load if it's still working.

yeh i did that but its goes on 0% but some hdd activity and its stupid how the progress bar keeps going across for certain items and not the whole thing so i wouldnt know ifs its on 99% complete or not

[Alan Zeino]

LOL everyones downloading it calm down

[tiddlie]

The ironic thing is the old WPA bypass tools STILL work on this version of longhorn. Wonder if they'll change the system at all for future releases?

[BlueFighter]

Unless you are going to use it 60+ days there is no need to use them :p

[cheeseyman]

so can anyone explain to me what setup is actually doing at this point so i can see why setup wont pass this bit

[tiddlie]

It's doing what it always does after the 1st reboot - XP does it, 98 does it - you get my drift. It's scanning your hardware and installing drivers for it, and setting up your machine to work properly

this isnt a beta yet is it?

thank you. everyone keeps saying "only way you can have a legit copy is..."

stop complaining, and start helping :) the more you guys help, the more people have the same problem, and fix it. the less threads there will be, and the less you need to read about it.

BTW: im downloading longhorn too!

[speddy187]

This build is so horrible took like 2 hours to instal.later this morning i went back to xp.

Yep. I agree with you. Most of us are.

Honesty is a good policy.

I started the download and at 10% thought why am I even bothering? I had the last release and got rid of it after a few days.

[JorgeIvan]

[Lee G. Veteran]

Here too. I think we should stop talking about downloads otherwise it's locking time :(
