dotnet general: Hi,

I downloaded the VPC version of the latest ORCAS CTP from the download site
and when I attempt to open it, I get an error:

"the parent virtual hard disk has been deleted or has been moved from its
previous location. Please select the new location of the parent virtual hard
disk."

What did I not download? Where can I find this base virtual hard disk called :

"E:\VPC\TimeBombedBase\Base01.vhd"

Thanks in advance,

Hi Juan,

You will need to download the Orcase Base Image
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4/9/5499b008-8ae7-46f0-89ae-aeeb18
df67ae/VSCTPBase.exe); it's documented on the CTP download page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B533619A-0008-4DD6-
9ED1-47D482683C78&displaylang=en

The Base Image contains a base virtual disk for Virtual PC. Here's some
articles on Virtual PC's Differencing Disk feature:

Hope this helps.
