sho_gun Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) There was a new Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool released during the past week. As of the last time I checked, it is NOT available for stand alone download.I did manage to get the files and succesfully installed it unattended though.I went to Windows Update and let the tool download, but clicked "cancel" before it could install.I didn't record exactly where the files were, but I "think" they were in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution". The folder had a long alphameric name and inside of it there was a folder named "update" along with other files including "LegitCheckControl.dll", so a search for that file should make finding the folder easy. Inside the update folder is a the file "update.exe", this is the actual install file.edit: I then repackaged it as a winrar sfx using update/update.exe /passive /quiet to make a silent installer.
