Hey "Max" how are you installing the WinFX runtime?

posted Tuesday, September 13, 2005 5:31 PM
As part of some prototype work I’ve been doing recently I’ve tried to find ways to get WinFX installed as part of a ClickOnce deployment.  I wonder how “Max” is doing this?  From the download page I hear “Microsoft Codename Max requires the WinFX September CTP in order to function properly. Max will install this for you.”  Say what?!?!?!

What I want to know is how Max managed to corrupt my PS2 keyboard driver. I installed everything (.Net 2, WinFX, Max) and things ran fine, the Mantel (?) feature in Max looked cool, until it gave me a Blue Screen of Death. After rebooting, I was unable to log back on, as the keyboard had stopped working.

1 hour later by the help of a USB keyboard I had uninstalled everything, removed and reinstalled the PS2 keyboard, rebooted about 7 times, but no luck - my computer still barfs at the PS2 keyboard...

I guess this is why they made virtual PCs.
