Has anyone been able to successfully download and use the DVD ISO image of
the September 2006 SDK?

I am starting at the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit (ISO) for
September CTP of Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components
using the link as:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=28FAD42D-983E-4A57-B5A6-BF058766A9FF&displaylang=en

The DVD ISO image link was listed as:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/8/308525e4-3193-4308-9a65-90c57e97495f/6.0.5536.0.2.WindowsSDK_Vista_RC1.DVD.Rel.img

which is actually the same link that I used to look at the Microsoft Windows
SDK for RC1. The file version and file size are the same as those specified
for the RC1 release. I could not check the AutoCRC signature because the CRC
link simply downloads a compressed WinZip executable that expands into a tool
used to check the CRC of floppy drive images only! I cannot the mount the ISO
image file virtually as a CD-ROM device using the Virtual CD-ROM Control
Panel for Windows XP tool because it simply says "Mount Failed".

Some postings had indicated that the SDK would be released by 9/28, over a
week ago. Any update or verification of the release status for the SDK would
be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Rip
