Yeah! Finally Installed Beta 2

After 2 repaves, several Ghost restores, several attempts to install VS 2005 Beta 2, I finally got my machine into a good state where everything is installed. Yeah! For some reason, on my first repave, I could not get SQL Express to install... The only difference I can see is that the first one was connected to my domain, whereas I just left the second one without the domain. Ugh!

I did a redownload because I was getting CRC errors on a couple of files, but that didn't help. I tried to install SQL first, but that didn't help. So I rebuilt the machine without the domain, did a Ghost backup, and installed it with no problems... Now comes the task (hopefully enjoyable) of migrating our web site to ASP.NET beta 2 while still maintaining a few client apps in .NET 1.1... This could be fun!

How much have you really played around with it yet? Hope you aren't getting any random errors.
