longhorn help

[mih]

hello,
i downloaded Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Codename.Longhorn.Beta.1.32Bit.DVD.READ.NFO-WinBeta
from torrent but when i tried 2 install it, it gave me an error ( the error -as a bebug- occurs just after i put the CD key..)
i did not burn the program on a dvd...could it be becuase of that?
what could it be? what 2 do?
thnx

could be that it is a corrupted download, try checking the checksum if thats possible, or burn it to a dvd

Most likely its because:

1.) You are downloading a file illegally.

Good lord that was stupid..... I bet your whole computer is packed with viruses now too.

Never download OS's from torrents, they are swarming with adware and viruses and phishing tools.

Not to mention they're illegal

Not to mention they're illegal

And also not to mention that they usually dont work.

yeah but i thought those would go without saying

Why dont you download the beta legally from Microsoft? And isn't beta 1 old and pointless now?
