It found it alright but only on the microsoft page where it says "no longer available..."

if not there then google it.

Nearly all of hits I got this way simply pointed back to microsoft - finally found one german page that archived it locally. *Whew* that was more difficult than it should've been!

Sorry! I though *I* was the only one who was in the dark & didn't know where to get it!

I found another site that has it archived (bonus- it's in English

):

Click on the link in the middle of the page that says: "Click Here"
