dpolivy Hello,
We are working to make the contents of the CD available online, but as of right now they are not available. Is it possible for you to reach out to a friend or colleague who also might have gotten a kit to get the CD contents? If you're not able to find it, please shoot us an email at sensext _at_ microsoft.com and we'll see what we can do.
Thanks! -
