Windows 7 beta - 9th January
- Thread starter Lysander
- Start date
Mine took a while at that point too, it sat at zero % for ages but then the numbers started going up pretty quickly.
Mine never goes up. After about 5 minutes the installation stops and says there was a problem.
Nope, no email here.
Get the following on that link:

Hit F5 every now and then. It seems to spit keys out intermittently.

You have to be logged in to get a key, thats proof enough.
Hmm, i'm having problems installing the 8.12 ati drivers. I installed them before, rebooted and when the pc came back online again W7 installed the generic built in drivers! Now when i'm trying to install the 8.12s again its just hanging on "Detecting basic system configuration". Anyone else experienced this?

Its a bit flaky atm. Keep trying.
I have checked the key and the link twice. And everybodys seems to be different.
For those that are struggling, log into to windows live/hotmail. Open up a new tab and go to MSDN. If it says "sign in" in the top right hand corner, click the link. It should realise you are signed in via windows live and the page will refresh. The link in the top corner will now say "sign out"
Click on the link kindly provided by Cob, and your key will appear. You may need to refresh a few times as word has obviously spread quickly.
If you are not logged in to MSDN, the link for the key will not work, and it will default to a different page.
After signing out, clearing my cache and cookies, then signing back in again, I clicked Cob`s link and got exactly the same key.
Job done.

Just to add to the above, I am unable to get this to work if I am running more than one copy of IE. So have OCUk on the first tab, Hotmail/live in the second and MSDN in a third tab.
Night guys.
