For those who did not click the link Sigurd provided regarding the failed installation and the cause/solution:
From Alex TaylorOut of curiousity, did you get your CDs on Friday?
The CDs distributed on Friday unfortunately had an error that caused GenMAC install to fail. It was fixed by Saturday. We were trying to get people to replace their CD#1 on Saturday and Sunday but I don't know how successful that endeavour was.--

http://www.socis.ca/~ataylo00 I suspect those who buy eCS when it is available (or download the ISO when it is available) will not run into the installation issue.
It really is quite incredible that after the "launch" at Warpstock EU, there are no bells, whistles or even brief mentions on the official website (let alone elsewhere) that the job on 2.0 has been done. Grumble grumble grumble.
As for that, I suspect that, with much of the eCS Team at Warpstock EU, the rest of us will be waiting until they get back, (and hopefully get a little rest) and update the website with details of both Warpstock EU and the release. Though the team may not have always ran to this forum to post updates and news (though lately Roderick and others have been very good at that), they have been very hands on in the development of eCS v2 and in dealing with issues - that, though not always evidenced here in posts, has been proven in the amount of bugs and other issues that have been addressed before release time/GA locking. With that said, I'd expect that before the GA to "the rest of the world" they'd want to ensure they were back home, back at work, and ready to deal with the general release to the masses.
So... I for one, can wait a few extra days until they are all safely home, gotten a little bit of rest,
ensured that the shipping version does not contain a bad CD#1 (inotherwords, the added delay we may be experiencing now), and are back at work and ready to update the website & take orders.
Best,
Robert
