Guest Jamma14 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Took me about half an hour...but the .msi won't install just stops on "preparing to install" :D I've had this problem with msi's before, anyone know of any other way to extract or install them? EDIT: Ok turns out I'm just lazy, I had to wait a couple of mins ;) Edited January 19, 2006 by Jamma14

More (updated) info at: Microsoft Download Center <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have noticed that ...however i managed to install the .msi even if i waited 1 minute until setup unpacked the files .However it may look weird but all i wanted was the emulator for QVGA (like C600) in order to design homescreens without having to connect my phone to the PC .Is there any way that i can use only the emulator ? Thx . ;) Edited January 20, 2006 by cold_fire

Guest Tech Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 for people who are saying that the installations just stays at preparing to install, make sure you disable the anti virus software for a few minutes as that is what will be stopping it from moving on
Guest b0bby Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 you can still download the trial though... for 800+meg you would have thought it'd have been included but go here: http://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdn/visuals...o/getthetrials/
Guest Jamma14 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 You can't. They make you think that but you have to pay for them to send it to you - you can't download it - and I'm not paying for a trial!
