+Nik Louch Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2005 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.

Axel Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 That was very unhelpful / pointless post. I remember with the earlier build it did that to me, I just rebooted and it continued fine!

+Nik Louch Subscriber² Posted April 26, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted April 26, 2005 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.

Zip Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 most people in this forum are going to have this lh build soon now its leaked. just accept it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/313157-time-to-install-winhec-build-of-lh/#findComment-585831136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddlie Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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!

Malisk Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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.

tiddlie Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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?

tiddlie Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/313157-time-to-install-winhec-build-of-lh/#findComment-585832494 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Battery Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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.
