I don't think it is since I remember reading on the officialsite that it was not yet realesed to the public, only that 'Customer Experience' program. It will be public in the up-coming weeks...

I do have Vista RC1 by the 'Customer Experience' program.

2.) Why doesn't it work?

You can use Nero Image, Daemon-tools, whatever program you want, that can mount .iso. I don't know why you have the .dlm at the end of file! You should check for viruses or something. Why didn't you download from Microsoft site?

It could be *.dlm=download manager ?!?

Save it in your hard drive and use a program like isobuster to extract the files.

erm doesnt it reboot and continue installing from the dvd without xp?

surely a mounting program then becomes useless

Yes Paralex. This is legal. It is supplied by Microsoft in their website, so obviously it is.

I think you have to use Internet Explorer to get the keys.

Hey guys thanx for the replies. to:jzinaja yes the .dlm extension stands for download manager well once it finished it then became and .iso file after it was downloaded with the download manager link that was provided.

but when i used the firefox default download manager it did not change the .iso.dlm extension to just .iso and when i renammed it to just .iso using the firefox download manager the file was messed up. So all in all I downloaded the file using the download manager provided and I was able to mount the .iso image and get to the install or upgrade screen will it continue to install after the reboot that remains a question thanx again.

OK, post how it works out and your impressions about Vista in the other thread.

Alright here. If you guys are too scared if it is "legal" or not, this is straight from the Microsoft website.

"The final major pre-release of Windows Vista—Release Candidate 1 (RC1)—is now available through the Customer Preview Program (CPP).

Microsoft is giving out the Vista RC1 product keys to public, officially.

Click here to download Windows Vista RC1 .iso and get the product key."
