if you still want 'live' update, there are few ways to do it.. but require 'hacking' which might be problematic for noobies

Thus, its time for you to get/buy original now...

However, there is still a way around this method (although automatic update is not supported)...

Just install firefox,mozilla,opera and use »www.windizupdate.com/ to get recent windows update...

no hacking is needed...

When I tried to download DirectX SDK Dec 2005 release using Firefox, it can get through. »www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···yLang=en

But you need to download WGAPluginInstall.exe plugin for FF (available at Microsoft, upon downloading softwares), so the site can verify/validate the windows.

Still you can't use FF for the windows update site though, exclusively for IE. :p:)

notice the words...Criteria = "IsInstalled=0 and IsHidden=1"
so its a hidden install right

i found the file on HD as:

this gives the details

searching through the reg ifound this...the temp file
"InstallSource"="H:\\DOCUME~1\\ADMINI~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\IXP000.TMP\\"

anyway theres an uninstall string in the reg
at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\9EC9653600AFC964FAC55E4D9DA3FC19]

"UninstallString" =MsiExec.exe /I{63569CE9-FA00-469C-AF5C-E5D4D93ACF91}

ok so does running this uninstall string at the run command uninstall this shit or what???
