It's possible that some of the .NET make variables won't be
configured right if you install a bindist.  And they will never be
configured right if you installed anything before you installed the .NET
beta.  This might be the problem Pavel is experiencing.

The calculator sample definitley doesn't work, it's a bug that is on the
list to track down and fix, but it's coming after the bugs that don't
need any tracking down and just need to be fixed ;-)
