October 17, 201213 yr Author I haven't tried it on Vista with the new Win8 SDK. You can try the old WPT from the Win7 SDK:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
March 13, 201511 yr Hi guys I have tried to install WPT on Vista and I get that some Tools can't be installed and there is no listing of WPT at all...How and where do I copy it from Windows 7? Thanks! bookie32
March 13, 201511 yr Author you need the Windows 7 version of the Windows SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

March 14, 201511 yr Hi MagicAndre1981 Sorry! I wasn't very clear...When installing SDK you are given several options of what you want to install and I had missed the one under Common Utilities...I only saw the link under Redistributable Packages and not Common Utilities...When I rerun the SDK installer...then I noticed it and installed it OK... I ran the WPT and it shaved over a minute on the startup time... bookie32
March 14, 201511 yr I ran the WPT and it shaved over a minute on the startup time... Which is a nice - though vague - absolute metrics whilst in this particualr case it would be interesting to use relative metrics.... I mean, it shaved one minute out of the 1:18 it took before means "wow! ", it shaved one minute out of the 32:43 it took before means "meh. ".... jaclaz Edited March 14, 201511 yr by jaclaz
March 15, 201511 yr Sorry, it was taking between 2minutes to 2 minutes 45 seconds to start totally and be usable...so even if it isn't the fastest starter in the world of computers with the latest technology...SSD drives etc...I think for an old computer that is pretty impressive....lolAm I making myself clear......? bookie32
