    <p>I've been trying for the last hour or so to get the downloadable .NET source code installed to my local machine and it appears to be broken.</p> <p>I'm installing the .NET v8.0 file from <a href="http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and after the install the following files are created:</p> <pre> -Readme.txt -(Source) --(DotNET) ---(8.0) ----source.zip.tmp -(Symbols) --pingme.txt --(000Admin) ---0000000001 ---history.txt ---lastid.txt ---server.txt </pre> <p>I can't imagine that this is right - is it? I would have thought there would be some pdb files at least... It certainly doesn't seem to work.</p> <p>A little research pulled up <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/da81d205-4939-4172-91fd-d2369c6460d6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link</a> where the guy says that it is something to do with the date formatting. I don't really want to rewrite the installer like he did, but I have tried setting my region to English-US (from UK) and customising the date format all with no success. If this was the issue I would have expected to find more references to it.</p> <p>So, my questions are:</p> <ul> <li>Is the file structure above correct?</li> <li>If not, and you've successfully installed the file what are your system's culture settings?</li> </ul> <p>Bonus question:</p> <ul> <li>Any idea specifically what the differences are between the files available from the RSCC? I can't find any documentation to tell me which are worth installing.</li> </ul> <p>For reference I'm running Visual Studio 2008 on XP with all service packs and patches applied.</p>
