    Hello,

    is there any way to install AsyncCTPv3 and get AsyncCtpLibrary_Silverlight5.dll.

    csc.exe has version 4.0.30319.17020

    In My Documents is no new files after successful install.

     

    Is there other way to get AsyncCtpLibrary_Silverlight5.dll ?

    You could try using "Async-CTP-v3.exe /x" to extract the .msp files, and then using a process like that described at http://www.windowswiki.info/2009/02/19/how-to-extract-msumspmsiexe-files-on-the-command-line/ to extract the DLLs from the .msp.  I've not tried doing so, however.

    OK,
    this is the solution for getting AsyncCtpLibrary_Silverlight5.dll.

    But it do not solve installation of AsyncCTPv3 on Windows 8 Dev Preview.

    I try to install AsyncCTPv3 on my second PC (Windows 2008 server) - two hours - no luck :-(

     

    I look up to the end of Februarywith anticipation of Visual Studio 2011 beta (Async for WPF and SL5 included and working).

    Today I repeat whole instalation of AsyncCTPv3.

    Visual Studio 2010 still not working, no examples no dlls extracted anywhere,

    but Visual Studio 2012 is now working (after manualy extract dll files) !! 

     

    So great news!
