Just a note of caution: for older preview releases of VS the only way to get back to a clean system was to reinstall Windows. I don't know whether this will be different with VS 2015, but if you care for your VM, you should probably create a snapshot before installing VS 2015 preview to make it easy to revert back, e.g. to install the final VS 2015 version. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 13 2015) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC Plone/Zope Database Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2015-01-09: Released eGenix pyOpenSSL 0.13.7 ... http://egenix.com/go68 2015-01-20: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... http://egenix.com/go69 ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
