Why does MS not post any MD5Sum of trial downloads

Why does MS not post some sort of hashsums such as SHA1 or MD5Sums of this trials of their various server products? I downloaded Server 2012 and Server 2012/R2 and tried to install them into VMWare Workstation 10 only to become frustrated due to strange
error messages. I thought perhaps that the downloads were corrupted and went to look for MD5Sums for the downloads but gave up in frustration.
I downloaded both of these files all over again aka over 6GB of files only to discover that it made no difference! Why on earth doesn't MS post check sums for all of their large downloads rather than frustrate their end users?
There appears to be a problem with installing the x64 ISOs in VMWare workstation. I had no problem installing Server 2012 in Virtualbox 
 

Did you try using IE to download?  That was the difference between what I use and what you use.  I know it should not make a difference, but just looking to eliminate differences.

I am sure I have tried IE and Firefox both. I can try IE and perhaps have someone outside of my location to grab this file and see what checksums they get.
Update:
I downloaded the file yet again here via IE and got the same checksums as before 
MD4: 2abe3e1c6dfdcd8f6bdaa779baf011e3
   MD5: b391a267949518ed6bb69f908f252076
 SHA-1: 5e2ddcaecc91e80a8ce3ec7ae7838f8a3967ed7f
I then asked one friend who is on the same ISP as I am to download it and he too got the same checksums.
I then went over to another friend who is with an entirely different ISP and downloaded the file via IE and got 
MD4: ef8789166affb34aa4b525693b6161e6
MD5: 5b5e08c490ad16b59b1d9fab0def883a
SHA-1: 849734f37346385dac2c101e4aacba4626bb141c
Which agrees to Tim Cerling's values. I was able to install this ISO in virtualbox without any problems. I just wished the heck Microsoft would have the sens to post these values on the trial page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012-r2
If they had done so I would of realized that the downloaded file was corrupt rather than spend countless lost hours trying various fixes here hardware wise and downloading
this file 6+ times.
Thanks Time Cerling for all the help in this matter without it I still would be struggling.

  • Why does jazzfont not work any more in logic after upgrading the OS to 10.7?

    Hello,
    I was working with the sigler jazzfont in logic studio 9 and everything was fine until some time ago I upgraded my system to OS 10.7.
    Now my score is looking like a piece of graphic art when I use jazzfont:
    I've contacted sigler, they sent me the latest vs. of jazzfont - saying it worked fine with 10.7 in finale... I installed it - no change
    Any chance to get this beautiful note-font back working? (Otherwise apple will have to kill the mentioning in the user-manual... - at least)

  • Is it possible to use a tax code in FB60 but which does not post any tax?

    Hello Gurus,
    Can you advise if it is possible to configure a tax code which can be selected in FB60. But we want this tax code not to post any tax value in SAP but simply to be allowed to be selected and populated in the doucment. In FTXP a tax code can be setup that does not need to have a tax rate % maintained against it or be linked to a GL account. However, this tax code cannot then be used in FB60 as the system asks that a rate is maintained and then that an account must be maintained.
    Can you advise if it is possible to maintain a tax code in such a way that it can be selected in FB60 but does not result in any tax posting to any tax account? We want it so that no value is posted, so even a 0% rate would not be good.
    Thanks for any ideas on this.
    Mart

    If you set up 0% tax code, system will NOT post any entry to GL account. You can use the tax code in FB60 & MIRO & PO too.
    thanx

  • Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

    Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
    It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
    YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
    HELP!!

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

    17:36:06.541660800

    Hi,
    Date arithmetic only works with DATEs.
    If you want to do something similar with TIMESTAMPs, use NUMTODSINTERVAL:
    SELECT  TO_CHAR ( TO_TIMESTAMP ('1/1/2012', 'DD/MM/YYYY') + NUMTODSINTERVAL (.733409047, 'DAY')
              , 'HH24:MI:SS.FF'
    FROM      dual
    ;Here's exactly what's happending:
    When you say "d + n", d is supposed to be either a NUMBER or a DATE. When you pass any other datatype, Oracle tries to convert d to either a NUMBER or a DATE. In this case, d was a TIMESTAMP; Oracle realized that it could convert that TIMESTAMP into a DATE, and did so. The 1st argument to TO_CHAR, therefore, was a DATE, but '.FF' only works with TIMESTAMPs.
    There are a couple of things about how Oracle handles this that I find annoying, but I don't know of any better work-around.

  • Why does Canon NOT support the Canon Utilities software?

    The Canon Map Utility software can not detect my Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2.  Over the phone, Canon "Customer Support" had me uninstall all 10 Canon Utilities that I had previously installed, and then let me install only 8 older versions of Canon Utilities.  And, the Canon Map Utility software STILL could not detect my Canon GP-E2. 
    Why doesn't Canon have ANYONE who knows the Canon Utility software?  The first support rep had NEVER used any of the software!  And the second support rep, whom I was transfered to by a Supervisor who told me that this was the most experienced support person for the software, has only used the software ONCE!
    Why does Canon NOT SUPPORT Canon software?????
    As an old friend used to always say,
    "Keep Looking Up!"
    Calen

    When I use the GPS-E2 on my camera, the pictures have are geotagged.  It's when I try to use the GPS log that Map Utility has a problem.  I like the idea of recording where I went, not just where each picture was taken.  That way, I can see where I found nothing to take pictures of.

  • Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

    I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
    Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

    hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
    if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

    Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting in PDF? I can seee the TOC in iBooks Author but when I want to see what it looks like in a regular PDF, the TOC does not show up.

    Strange question you ask here. Not sure why that is relevant to "why" IBA won't publish a table of contents in a PDF.
    But since eyou asked, it's simple, I want to author some books in IBA and also see what they look like - completed - in PDF. Again, any suggestions as to a work around so I don't have to cut and paste back into Pages?
