So, as I have the luck of having a MSDN subscription, I first downloaded the 9 parts of the VHD file. Yes ! A total of 4.2GB to download, taking the whole night to get it. But, once deflated, it takes more or less 13GB ! That&#8217;s ok for me, on an external 420GB hard drive, I can afford it.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>The only problem I had was that when I launched the VPC image, it simply failed, telling me that &#8220;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&#8221;. That was strange, because, on the MSDN subscriptions site, there is no mention about a parent virtual hard disk. Or, at least, not enough visible for me.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>To solve this little issue, it is better to download the VHD from the Microsoft download <A href=\"http:\/\/download.microsoft.com\">site<\/A>. There, you have all the instructions you would need, and, the most important, where to download this parent virtual hard drive.<\/P><br \/>\n<P><A href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=60a5b34b-98b0-4702-b2dd-6fc0bef7e494&amp;DisplayLang=en\">Link to the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Team Foundaction Server<\/A> download<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My next challenge for the next couple of weeks : testing the new Beta of VS 2008 TFS&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1904\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peneveyre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
