Windows 7 RTM now available on Technet and MSDN

Use the Akamai download manager. Open up Internet explorer, go to Top Downloads when you signed in, and you will see the links, if you do not. Try closing File TRansfer Manager.

Oh no, the copy I downloaded is corrupt :cry: .

I think I'll let it download overnight and hope it will be finished tomorrow :( .

Just edit the iso in UltraISO.

Open it up, find ei.cfg, delete it and save the iso.

Yup, that works. Although since I just extracted the ISO to a flash drive and install from that it was just a matter of deleting it and going on my way. Installing from a flash drive is way faster.

Boo, program costs money. I may just try and do it in XVI32 instead of paying for software.

[Gio Takahashi]

I'm pretty sure it's 16385. Like I said earlier, the change to subbuild 16399 was done through windows update and this was only recently done. People are reporting the same hash as was to Wzor, which means it is the same build as 16385.

Build is 16385

It has a trial period. Install it, modify the iso then uninstall it.

It doesn't have any limitations when in trial period.

Thanks

Install it from a flash drive. You can easily delete the file this way.

I probably should have used that. Do you think Firefox is slower without the Akamai manager?

[Gio Takahashi]

It'll be up on August 14th, as said earlier in this thread.

[LA1979]

Does anyone else see the download info on Connect? I don't see it anywhere.

[Gio Takahashi]

for Today it's only for MSDN and Technet users. I think connect people will get theirs near the end of the month.

You just won't be able to see the links in Top Downloads if you're using firefox. use Internet explorer for that.

According to MS its today for Connect users as well. Not sure...

? Both the download option and the boxed product will include x86 and x64.

? In both cases your product key will activate your choice of one of these.

? Downloads will be available to members of the Technical Beta Program on August 6th.

? We are not offering evaluation copies as download therefore only those who choose download as an option will have access to the download images.

? We can only ship boxed product to the shipping address you have on file with Connect. Please make sure it is up to date.

? Because there will be a limited amount of boxed product available we will notify you no later than the end of day August 6th as to whether we were able to fulfill your request. If not, we will automatically convert your request to a download.

? Members of our international ?Mini beta? efforts do not need to do anything yet. Starting August 6th you will be given access to downloads and over the next several weeks we will ensure all languages are posted and available to you.

Can anyone with Connect access shed some light?

It is not currently on Connect. It is only 1pm PST so it is unlikely you will see it until around 3/4pm PST.

[LA1979]

AH ok... thanks for the help abtm. I have no patience for things like this.

[ajua]

Any words on other languages?

I'm waiting for Spanish..

The leaked RTM and language packs are working great, but its better to have the release in the language you need if there is no need for LP's.

I've finished installing Win7 and now I'm just installing other software and I noticed that there's no link anywhere for WLM or any of the Windows Live software. I thought a link would appear on the Start menu by default?

Go to the getting started section and click the black arrow. You will see a link for get windows live essentials.

Of course. Thanks.

I checked the connect newsgroup, "Wendy" who is part of the Windows beta management team posted that she "...in the process of making this live today. Please stay tuned.", if I am not wrong I think when Vista was made available to connect users it was around 330~430ish in the evening PST.
