Is the 2.0 RC API download link hosed?

Question

Hey guys,

It seems that (as of this morning, anyways) the link to the 2.0 release candidate

http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-api-microsoft-silverlightwpf-download

is broken.  I'm at a juncture where I'd like to grab it and see if it resolves an issue I'm experiencing with the 2.0 public beta.  Does anyone from ESRI know what might be causing the problem with the download link?

Thanks!
Brooks

You have log-in to Resource Center using ESRI Global account to download the API. It is mentioned in the ArcGIS Silverlight/WPF Resource Center index page.

I did that at least twice today, with the same effect - a broken download link.  However, on the third try - just now - it worked!  3rd time's a charm, I guess... or someone just fixed the link this afternoon. 🙂

Thanks,
Brooks

hm, maybe it's about to go final?

On the SL blog (http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/silverlightwpf/), Rex Hansen claimed that it was released on Monday of this week.

Does anyone know if the download link ever was live in the first place?
