Bad Link on Desktop SDK - Build your first app - Step 1.

stephen.c.ryan

http://openeikon.azurewebsites.net/desktop-sdk/build-your-first-app/
The first link named "EikonDevAddinInstaller.msi" links to a file named "VS2013Addin.msi"
The second link named "OpenEikonDesktopAppV1.zip" links to a file named "VS2012Addin.msi"
Shouldn't we be offering separate, properly labeled, links to these files?
[it should be noted that the '12 version does not work on VS Express, haven't tried that with '13]
Can we get the template link fixed?

Now the links are presented as:

Run EikonDevAddinInstaller.msi for Visual Studio 2012

Run EikonDevAddinInstaller.msi for Visual Studio 2013

Please be aware that VS Express do not implement the Add-Ins feature, that's why it doesn't work for you.

They seem correctly labelled to me Steve. The link to Visual Studio 2012 downloads VS2012Addin.msi. The other downloads VS2013Addin.msi.

I also had the VS2012 add in not working

Hi. Please can someone confirm when this will be fixed. I still have problems trying to access the (2013) MSI file. Using IE I get "The webpage cannot be found" standard message, and with Firefox/Chrome I get something about blobs:
http://eikondevstorage.blob.core.windows.net/buildstore/eikondeveloper/DevAddin/VS2013Addin.msi
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

The specified blob does not exist.
