So I downloaded the new Expression Web Designer CTP today on my work computer (new Dell, XP Pro SP2, 3+GHz PentD, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD), but can’t seem to install it. I get the EULA prompt, then the status bar starts. It makes it about 90% across then I get a dialog box that says “The installation of this package failed.”
I don’t see anything in the event logs either. Anyone have any ideas? I’ll try on my home computer later.
Obviously I’m missing something but don’t know what.

Did you save the installer to your hard drive before running it?
The reason I ask is because I experienced the same issue with the latest Atlas installer. I clicked the link on the site and hit run and it failed. I then saved it to my hard drive and ran it from there and in installed perfectly.

Yeah. I actually downloaded it twice because I thought the first time might have been corrupted. When I go thome I went to the MSFT site to download and try on that computer, but it was “experiencing difficulties” or something like that. I wonder if it was widespread problem and they were fixing it??
