Default GOW on PC? Vista 64

Ok, This game requires a hotfix KB940105.
The windows update centre requires Genuine Microsoft windows.

Guess what


Any thoughts?

thanks for the reply.

Install the installer package that DRZ suggested or the Genuine Microsoft utility thingy?

Is the MSU the same as the Autopatcher that was released a while back?

I'd just install the Genuine Microsoft doofer. But that's me being a smug git because Vista is the first MS OS I've ever officially owned.

I did wonder if you had

Trouble is if I do, it's going to keep reminding me.. I might buy it anyway. Is there anyway of buying it without have to reinstall the damn thing

I just found out the in August 2007. Microsoft put a stop on Autopatcher

However, I found this..

Seems pretty upto date.. I'll install this on my test PC first, see how it goes.


DRZ, does that .msu file contain the hotfix?

That's a shame about AP, but as a lot of those updates were behind WGA I can't say I'm surprised. I still have up to the July update I think - I'd best keep that safe.

July update does contain the update I need.

I have downloaded a file that contain a zip file of updates which includes 940105.

There are 7 files:

update.mum ???
_manifest_cix.xml
update.cat
and four files numbered 2 to 5


any ideas how this installed?
