Official Windows 7 RC Available Right Now!

[Darknight630]

Help, i dont know how to burn this and i ended up doing it wrong..I have ultra iso and the name of the image says this - 100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culfrer_en_dvd.iso.dlm

at the end it says iso.dlm, do i need to rename something for me to be able to burn the image to a dvd r using ultraiso ?

Check to see if the Download Manager says "Finished" under the status. Give it some time and it should finalize and say .ISO.

Then burn to disc and install to your liking :3

if you are talking xp mode its a seperate download
Xp mode beta

Wm player 11? Is part of 7 I think

I use vlc so I havent even looked at it

Also I noticed no difference from 7077 also
Goes to show other then tweaks 7100 and 7077 were very close

It's WMP 12 in Seven ,and there are no radical difference from 7077 to RC.
Just fine tuning and lots of tweaks.

Will the real Lazy Ninja please stand up.

Man you could atleast give some credit due. It's not like Microsoft planned or wanted to release this yesterday.

According to Microsoft, they are not limiting the number of keys issued.

I believe i read on Wired Mags site or similar page that we will be able to use the RC until June 2010.

Yes, but by June '10 I think the 2 hour shutdowns will have already started so people will probably drop using RC a couple months before then.

Hmmm I used Firefox to download the 64 bit this morning. Only took couple hours.
Since I just read this post about how the download is failing all I can say is I just started another download instance of the 32 bit to see if it works. Like I said I'm using Firefox. I.E. 8 seems to time out for me. The Download Manager that tries to run fails on I.E. but works fine on Firefox.

Goes to show everyone has different results. I couldn't get Firefox to download it, I had to use IE.

OK whats the point? I posted a link I found, I said that in a post.

I shared what I found, Who ever did not create Win 7 as I did not.

The link allowed people to download early last night as I did.

If this poster is a member here then why did they not post a link earlier then I did?

:huh:

Yeah, if you were the one who originally realized it, cheers to you then, good job mate. But Howdr posted it here first for us all, so the credit for that goes to him.

This extension belongs to the download manager, and it indicates an incomplete download or a download that is in progress. When the download has completed successfully, this extension will disappear and you will be left with the standard .iso file, which you will need to burn to a DVD.

thanks, i was able to do it by burning the zip file..It was that i had opened the zip file and tried to burn the file inside that was giving me the problem..

Microsoft says the 2 hour shutdowns will begin in March, and it will fully stop working in June.

So yes, most will probably stop using it before March.

Hi Everyone:
Thanks for the info.
I d/led this early, today and used it as an upgrade from a previous version of 7100 x64.
MS said to do a clean install so I guess they didn't recommend it. It worked well, I did the legit activation. and it's working with only minor incidents. (it kicked into a very basic graphic mode on the 2nd boot-up after install)

Thanks guys downloading, now at 15% 3.5hours to go.

Oh hey does anyone have any lightscribe labels for Windows 7 RC (x64)? I found some but they don't fit on my disc because of the larger circle thingy in the center

I don't have lightscribe, but had the same problem with Canon Label Print and found that the inner circle can be adjusted down to 17mm.
Check all options maybe there is something there you can adjust.

It's a dvd issue, try reburning at the slowest speed or if that doesnt work I'll burn you one off and you can pick it up.

Re-burnt - installed - running it now. I should have known not to burn it at 16x but I couldn't wait, lol... I like it!

Had to manually install dreamscene as 7 doesn't have it. But it does now!

Take the dreamscene off, your PC isn't up to it

I've just successfully upgraded from 7077 64-bit to the official 7100 RC1 64-bit, everything worked right out of the box - no issues what so ever! I just extracted the ISO to a local folder and ran the setup from there, took about 40 minutes to complete

Is it only me or isn't the RC a bit faster than the 7077 build?

Agreed, 98% CPU usage for a moving wallpaper is a bit OTT! lol...

A bit quicker for me also.
