Hi Ravi, Something certainly seems off about that bootstrapping problem you encountered. :-) When I've done this, the artifact I downloaded was an .iso file, which I could then use to install a VirtualBox VM.
I'm now tuned into the discussion Sean referenced about the ASF MSDN program. I'll send another update when I have something more specific to share. --Chris Nauroth From: Ravi Prakash <ravihad...@gmail.com<mailto:ravihad...@gmail.com>> Date: Friday, May 20, 2016 at 4:56 PM To: Sean Busbey <bus...@cloudera.com<mailto:bus...@cloudera.com>> Cc: Chris Nauroth <cnaur...@hortonworks.com<mailto:cnaur...@hortonworks.com>>, Steve Loughran <ste...@hortonworks.com<mailto:ste...@hortonworks.com>>, Hadoop Common <common-...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:common-...@hadoop.apache.org>>, "mapreduce-dev@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:mapreduce-dev@hadoop.apache.org>" <mapreduce-dev@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:mapreduce-dev@hadoop.apache.org>>, "hdfs-...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:hdfs-...@hadoop.apache.org>" <hdfs-...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:hdfs-...@hadoop.apache.org>>, "yarn-...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:yarn-...@hadoop.apache.org>" <yarn-...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:yarn-...@hadoop.apache.org>> Subject: Re: ASF OS X Build Infrastructure FWIW, I was able to get a response from the form last month. I was issued a new MSDN subscriber ID using which I could have downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio (and some other products, I think). I was interested in downloading an image of Windows to run in a VM, but the downloader is..... wait for it..... an exe file :-) Haven't gotten around to begging someone with a Windows OS to run that image downloader.....

It's still active, it just changed homes within Microsoft. The info should still be in the committer repo. If something is amiss please let me know and I'll pipe up to the folks already plugged in to confirming it's active.
