And if he has Mac?
Wait, why hit it? What did that ever do to you to be abused in such manner?

IE too has same key combination.

That little key combination works in IE, Firefox, Chrome, ...
If they have a Mac, who cares...

download folder? I wish. No, it downloaded the installer, went through the pretty box thing with the ribbon, then said, "Congrats... ".
Nothing in my Programs menu, but it shows installed in the "Uninstall or change a program" dialog. Hmmmm...

This is why you get ISOs and never bother with these so-called "web installers".

I agree normally I do this. But VS2013 is so big, I need a new dvd burner. Something like 6.2GB.
Anyway, I wiped out the mucked up installation and downloaded the complete installation package. It's been running for 20 minutes now.

Why burn it at all? If your OS can't mount an ISO directly from disk or a file share, there's plenty of third-party utilities that can. You then run the setup.exe from mounted image file.
Personally, I've practically stopped burning CDs/DVDs altogether if I have access to equivalent ISOs, and keep everything on a share. Even for OS installs; there's utilities that will transfer a bootable OS ISO to a bootable USB thumbdrive. They're so cheap nowadays (8GB is plenty for most OSes) I have a small collection at the ready.

I did not know you could do that!

" " indeed.
Mounting ISOs from Explorer is built right into Windows 8 / Server 2012 and above. For older OSes, I use Slysoft's Virtual CloneDrive[^]
I've always had all sorts of unexplained problems trying to burn dual-layer DVDs with my (certified) dual-layer burner - after MS started pushing out a few ISOs that were over 4.37GB, I've stopped burning everything. I've even transferred DVDs back into ISOs, and only use files on disk.
Typically I pay $20 for 100 blank DVDs; I paid $150 for the last 4TB drive I bought - if you do the cost per GB calculation, storing everything on a spinning disk is cheaper, way faster (and convenient) and physically takes up a lot less space than the equivalent ~9 DVD spindles.
People worry about losing data on a hard drive--I've lost more data over the decades because of scratched CDs/DVDs than hard drives. Besides, I'm much more likely to make a backup of files on disk than take the time to burn an extra backup of a DVD.
The paperless office is still far from a reality, but going disc-less is certainly feasible!!

No, you're looking at it wrong. The real question is "When is VS2013?" 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That is a very good question. I downloaded the package and it's been running now for 2!!!! *fine* hours. It's now applying update 3, but I don't dare cancel or try to do serious work...
so when?

"Yes, I hit the '4' key on my keyboard and what I really need to happen is have the '3' come up on the screen."
"What happens when you need a '4'?"
"Oh, I almost never use the '4'"
"But those times you do need the '4', what should happen then as you'll only be getting a '3' when you press the '4' key?"
"I didn't think of that."
"We could have the '4' key produce a '4' on your screen and have the '3' key produce a '3' on your screen. How about that?"
"Yes, but that doesn't solve my original problem."
|

|
|
Oh, that's easily solved.
When he presses the '4', a dialog pops up, asking him whether he really meant to type '3'. If he types '3', he gets a '3'. If he types '4', he obviously really meant to type '3', so he gets a '3'.
|
|
|
|
|
But when he types the second 4 another dialog will pop up 
I say implement it!

A little drastic don't you think, especially as we're on the same planet.
I'm happy with the picture of this "user" getting more irate each time he presses 4.

Ooops. I must have meant general order 23.
