Like others posting here, I can't install VWD, the downloader gets to the point where it tries to download VWD and errors with : "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta - English has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete correctly."
I have now manually downloaded .Net Framework v2.0 Beta, SQL Express, & MSDN Books, and these are all installed but the VWD downloader still fails. My machine is behind a proxy server requiring authentication so maybe this is the problem - the downloader never
prompts for my authentication details. Internet Explorer works fine. Why is there no manual downloader for VWD (like there is for SQL Express) or why is there no proxy config? Please help! Thanks, Keith R. Smith
If you have access to the MSDN Subscriber download site, you can download the whole files. You can also get the whole version of VS 2005 Beta 1 from the download site.
OK, the full packages have now been posted in MSDN Subscriber Downloads so I am currently downloading from there. My problem is hopefully resolved via a different "route". Maybe these full packages will be made available publicly soon? Keith
I’m having difficulty during the installation. Framework 2.0 beta is installed without any problems. I’m using XP Pro: EventType : visualstudio8setup P1 : visual web developer 2005 express edition beta - english P2 : 8.0.40607.14_beta1_x86_ixp P3 : gen P4 :
inst P5 : f P6 : dlmgr_verificationerror P7 : type_cannotgethttpfilesize P8 : cdownloadjob__verifyfilesizetime() _ failed to get file size of http___go.microsoft.com_fwlink__linkid=30092_clcid=0x409 P9 : - P10 : -
I'm investigating the download failures. Can you send me the BITS.LOG and BITS.bak files from the %windir%\system32 directory? danval(at)microsoft.com Thanks!
We will be posting manual download instructions for all components sometime today for those of you who are having trouble with the download. I'll post links to the forums once they are live.

This is now live. At http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vwd/, you have a "Having trouble downloading" link that you can use for the manual download. Hope this helps... -- Bash
