Welcome to my site

First let me say thanks for stopping by my site. My name is David Hanson-Graville and I am a IT consultant working in the UK. Let me make it clear, I am passionate about technology and specifically .net and its various forms. I've programmed in a range of langages, but I can say, I am now at my happiest when coding with c#. I hope my blog is an enjoyable & educational read and please feel free to email me at David.Hanson@OnTheBlog.net if you have any questions. 
Windows Phone 7 Emulator standalone installer (July bits) Minimize

Hello out there.

Well I haven't updated this site for about 6 months and I thought I would try and be a little more active. The reason for my lack of posts is that I am currently in Australia travelling in a campervan and connectivity has been a bit of issue. The distraction of sunshine and beautiful sights doesn't help either.

Anyways I have just started getting to grips with the July Windows Phone 7 Beta tools and came across annoying issue with the installer. Basically it makes you download 300mb of data as part of the install. As I only wanted to download the Emulator (specifically the x64 version) I hunted around the installed settings file (located in a temp directory) an eventually stumbled upon the following two links which allow you to download it seperately. Hope this helps someone else who had this problem.

PS. Word to MS. Stop using online installers.... they are driving me mental on a flakey 3g connection in the bush!
