Hi all. 

Ugh. So of course having problems with the install! Just sent in request for manual license file, as the Activation Client doesn't like me right now. There was also a problem with the setup stopping at the Deploy Sample Data step... included details in the same email. 

Just sent you the license file.  As for the sample database, it hasn't changed.  So if you already have it loaded, it will be fine.  If the SF update failed, then that would be something to investigate.  The StrataFlix sample is more robust and what we will build off of in the future anyway.  So you should be good to go once you get your license file.

Just FYI, you can look at the log file that is stored on the install directory to get the error and see why the deployment failed.  I am willing to bet that it was a permissions issue or something along those lines.  Possible a detached MDF or something.  Either way, you should be able to get the error if you want more of a clue on this.
