submix8c Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Should have tried another newer date. Better get it while it's hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.microsoft.com/download/winntwks40/Utility/4.71.1015.0/NT4/EN-US/WIN_DEPLOY.exe"Saved 10 times between April 14, 2002 and March 20, 2006."Until your post, I hadn't seriously considered checking Wayback 'cuz MS has blocked it for years. Apparently, 2006 is when they began the blocking. This is good news for those times we're looking for really old MS stuff. The newer things MS is now taking off its sites won't be available from Wayback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 FYI, they've blocked some forms of MS urls, per robots.txt, but forgot to do so for many others.Last year they've updated their robots.txt, and a lot more of their formerly saved materials went down the memory hole.But there usually are many different forms of urls that lead to the same page at MS, and some have escaped their sanitizing up to this day.So, yeah: grab it while it's still there.
