If you still see this issue occurring we would like to investigate this issue again. Please provide the exact steps/actions to reproduce the problem or a zipped project file and we will re-investigate.

Added (what appear to be) the relevant set up log files (let me know if others would be relevant).

Plus image of what I see after opening MSDN library for orcas.

Reopened.

The key repro steps appears to be related to pattern of VM usage going on here (new guest was not created from scratch, but cloned).

Re-create steps updated. Note this is the ISO downloaded from MSDN downloads (which checksums the download... so confident the ISO file is not corrupted).
