Hello Again,
In the previous post, I’ve described how to provision your self a Live Framework CTP account. Now, we’ll get the tools needed to get our hands dirty. Let’s go.
Head to http://live.azure.com, sign-in with your Windows Live Id and you’ll land at the Azure Services page. Select the Live Services option from the left sidebar menu, and then click the New Service link.
Click the option Live Services Live Framework Community Technology Preview.
Enter a Name and optional Description for your application and click Next.
Before hitting the Create button, shift click the Download the Live Framework CTP SDK and Tools to open it in a new window. Then, with both windows open, you can return, choose the Create a Mesh-enabled Web Application option and click the Create button.
Just a few seconds later and your first app will be created. Leave it there, and go to the window you opened in previous step. Choose Download Live Framework SDK and Tools and download both Live Framework SDK April 2009 CTP and Live Framework Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio April 2009 CTP. Install this two packages and you’re ready to go.
