You can download the course at: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9779649 . If you look carefully you will see two files. The 37 MB file (VS11TrainingKitOctober2001.Setup.exe) contains all the content and labs. A 2 MB file (VS11TK_WebInstaller_Preview.exe) contains the Content Installer application. This application at launch will allow you to select a specific laboratory and not to download all the content. Also in the future, when updating the content in the training course, you will have the opportunity to see new add-ons using this application and download them.

Over the next month and a half we will add new laboratory work.
