Appendix A. Installing and Configuring Visual Studio LightSwitch
Installing and configuring Visual Studio LightSwitch and required components is a key step in your development experience. In this appendix, you find useful information to get the most out of the Visual Studio installation from the first run.
Installing Visual Studio LightSwitch
The Visual Studio LightSwitch installation media includes all files and prerequisites required to set up the development environment. A 90-day trial edition of Visual Studio LightSwitch is also available at www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/lightswitch/try.
If you have an MSDN subscription, you download LightSwitch as an ISO image. ISO images are ready to be burned to DVDs, but you can also use a virtual drive and thus treat the ISO image as a physical medium. Several virtual drives are available on the Internet (for example, Virtual Clone Driver, which ships for free: www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html). After you install the driver, just right-click the ISO image in Windows Explorer and select Mount. You can then work with the virtual drive as if it were a physical one.
