Error in workflow creation with pre-relase of Microsot windows sharepoint services 3.0

Could I do a question about the beta of WSS 3.0? :)

I'm trying the product for my thesis work, installed on my default
localhost website (called also "pcmobile"). Seems that all works fine
(besides, no installation error) but when i'm trying to follow the
instruction published in chapter 4 of "Presentig windows worklow
foundation, Beta Edition" by Sams (ISBN: 0-672-32848-8) i receive the
following error:
Error
The file '/_layouts/CstWrkflIp.aspx' does not exist.

Infact this file doesn't exist in my virtual website.
I'm trying to create a new workflow in sharepoint in this way:
1)Start from the hompage of my website (something similar to
http://pcmobile/default.aspx)
2)open "shared document" and then open "document library setting"
3)Open "Workflow setting"
4)Type something in the name of the workflow, leaving the default setting
for the other values.
5)Receive the error :) (The file '/_layouts/CstWrkflIp.aspx' does not
exist.)

I have installed the beta 1.2 of windows workflow foundation and the
extension or visual studio. No presentation and comunication foundation are
installed on my pc.

Thank you in advance

The beta is closed so please direct any questions to the beta newsgroups
for this. Thanks.

If you have legitimate access to the beta, you have access to the beta newsgroups;
that's a more appropriate place for questions about it. :)

Thank you for the answer, next friday i'm going to talk with my teacher, He
has legitimate accesso to the beta for sure, but I don't know if he know
how to accesso to beta newsgroups.
They aren't under msnews.microsoft.com. Could I access they with a
newswreader? Or I have to search for a web access.

Thank you anyway... i will ask him

If you have legitimate access to the beta you will know where the beta
newsgroups are (the name isn't difficult to guess) AND more importantly the
name and password you need to use to access them.

If your teacher has legitimate access he will be breaking his NDA
(non-disclosure agreement) if he gives you these access details. As he
almost certainly did when he (if he did) gave you a copy of the beta-1
software.

Instead of making a noise about it in a public newsroup, I would keep VERY
quiet about the fact that you have it.
