[unknown405]

I was searching google because I don't have my cd's anymore and had to restart Windows XP and came across this. It's a school giving 2 downloads (disc 1 and 2), no auth or CD key needed.

Visual Studio 6.0, Professional Edition, Disc 1

Visual Studio 6.0, Professional Edition, Disc 2

You need to Save File As.. to your disk and rename it to .ISO, .IMG, .CDR, or w/e your CD uses. That's what the instructions are, I don't have a blank CD to test this out on but it should work.

I don't know if this is legal or not, I would think so but not positive. If this is illegal let me know and I'll delete it or will an administrator/MOD delete it for me please. Just trying to help the community out.

Goodluck,

Brings you to a login page, without a userID and pass you can't download anything.

Ya I gave you all the information you need in the above page it's in order. Name, then "School of Management", then "Staff", then E-Mail. I don't know what you mean by username and pass, it doesn't ask either of those. It asks for your name and email, then what "school" your in and if your faculty, student, etc.

If you are downloading from Off-Campus, you will next be directed to a page where you will need to authenticate using an OIT Account.

maybe checks ip address?

Like I said I don't have any blank CD's to test this on. So I guess it doesnt work, I'll test it whenever I get a blank CD and if anyone else wants to test this out reply with what happened.

I can assure you 934.iso is not a CD nor DVD rip. It is only 1 kb, CD rips are upwards of 500-600 MB and DVDs 10 times that.

I go to the University of Michigan, which is a part of this MSDNAA program, and I can confirm that to download software, I have to use my university username and password. It sucks, but I don't think Microsoft would just let anybody who thought to make up a fake school download their software for free. If you notice on the page that was linked in the OP, the field asking for an email address specifies that it must have a University of Massachussets email address, aka @umass.edu. Pretty sure @comdis.umass.edu wouldn't work.

Take it this no longer works? Farthest I can get is to the 1kb iso image.
