Indigo early access

[Jim Robertson]

I'm trying to find Indigo early access release on MSDN subscriber downloads.
I can't find it. Does anyone know where this is located?
Thanks,

Re: Indigo early access

I downloaded the Indigo/Avalon CTP release. The first step in the
installation instructions is to install the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (and
uninstall any earlier betas). They give a link to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=36862 but I can't find any mention of
a beta 2. Does anyone know where this VS2005 beta 2 can be found?
Thanks,

Re: Indigo early access

Now I know what the problem is. A search for visual studio 2005 beta 2 on
Google turned up news articles indicating that the release date for the beta
2 have slipped into April.
Do I have any alternatives, besides waiting till April? Has anyone out there
been able to use this Indigo release without the VS beta 2? Is there a CTP
release of VS2005 that is equivalent to the beta 2 release (but less fully
tested) which will work? Or can I just proceed with the Indigo install
without VS and work with it at the command line?
Thanks,

Re: Indigo early access

I was told that this version of avalon/winfx was specifically tied to
the Feb CTP. did you attempt to install vs.net Feb CTP and then install
winfx?
