I download the VALIDATION software, run it, and get the obsolete message.
Jeez VanguardLH, you sure got some chip on your shoulder to prove me a bad
guy - ease up a bit. I guess you deal with too much of the hind end of things
and it must be shaping your view of the world in a rather nasty way!

Late, but not completely lost, I just read about "Steady State" and
jumped
over to MS downloads to try it out. Validation required. OK, I have a
number
of legal XP systems in my home each very well PAID for (though I am
having
problems making ends meet, I am glad Bill is using his money to help
the
world population survive). I allow the download, run Validation, and
it tells
me it is an absolete version.
Can someone out there that understands this stuff and the reasons as
to why
we deal with it please let me know how I should go about then getting
validation to work so I can get Steady State?
"I allow the download, run Validation, and it tells me it is an absolete

Um, doesn't the Microsoft download site require validation BEFORE they
let you download the file? Their download page has a "Continue"
(Validation Required)" button before you can even start the download.
That's why I figured that you already had the download and THEN got a
validation popup during the install or maybe when you tried using the
program. Maybe "allow the download" means you haven't started it yet
and got stuck at the intervening validation step.
When I do the download at their web site and get past the validation
step, and then abort the download dialog, I get a web page with a retry
link to the file, which is:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/f/4/af4fca6d-1202-4c30-a1bc-853e9a166695/SteadyState_Setup_ENU.exe
(buried as a parameter in the "Start download" link). That's the same
URL as mentioned in the article that you found. So did using the direct
URL eliminate the validation step? If so, it seems Microsoft's
validation process is flawed on their download site.
