I have noted an issue after applying update 1 where if I try to update two deployment points in sucession without closing the workbench in between, I receive the following error: "An unexpected error occured while updating the deployment point. The process cannot access the file 'C:\Distribution\\Tools\x86\wimgapi.dll' because it is being used by another process."

Clicking on "Show the error details" produces the following:

I noticed that after upgrading to MDT 2008 Update 1, I no longer have the job aids that were once available. I understand that everything is now supposed to be within the help .chm file but we seem to no longer have things like project process & team Guidance, templates, etc. that were once located within the BDD or MDT "wheel" in the Workbench Documentation node. Is this by design or will they be back? Are these gone for good now?
