I just received "MSDN Library" for July, 2001.
I had ordered the DVD version but they sent the CD version. I called them and they will be sending the DVD along soon.
I had a bit of a problem doing the CD install. When it told me to insert the next CD, as soon as I pressed the CD-drive's eject button I got a blue screen instructing me to re-insert the CD labelled xxxx-xxxx or press escape to cancel.
I reinserted the original one and ultimately went to Explorer, did an "eject" through the drive icon and proceeded. Had to do the same for CD#3 too.
After it was installed I went to look for a bug regarding this NEW problem. Any other time I had been asked to install a 'next' CD I never had any problem.
I didn't find one (but search qualification is truly a mystery to me) but I did come across a few problems regarding DVD-ROM version of MSDN, at least one stating that it was necessary to remove/reinstall Visual Studio 6 in order to resolve the problem!!! To me this is going way way WAY overboard.
So my question is:
Has anybody using the MSDN DVD version had to go to that extent to get it to work properly? If that is common place, then I think I'll stick with the CD version.
Thanks,
JimN
PS This release has VFP 7 DOCUMENTATION in it.
