Where did they go?

Post by DesertJerry »

I've been looking for days for the Microsoft listing recent date of downloads. Going here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx - nothing. Anyone know the correct URL that would get me back 'old' style listing - right now I can't find anything recently posted as an update for downloading at Microsoft. It's so bad I can't even find the latest Malicious Software Removal Tool at the Microsoft site. I assume I'm missing some link somewhere but so far - can't determine or find it.

Thanks. :(

Thanks, but they were not the lists. For some reason I can't find the downloads for all Microsoft products that could be listed in date order - recently first. I've been using it for years - for some reason Microsoft has changed the format of the web pages and what used to be an easy to find link for all downloads has disappeared.

I've spent time checking many of the pages presented at various Microsoft locations and have not arrived at what used to be the one page where everything available was listed.

I think I remember the page you're talking about, I haven't used it for years. It was a very easy way to search, sort, and download updates. I know I have a saved bookmark on a spare drive going back to 98, 2K, & XP days when I started saving updates for reuse. Chances are good even if you found an old link it would redirect to a new domain. Archive.org's wayback machine would show you a snapshot but I doubt any links are good.

Anyway, from your link in post 1, near the bottom is popular downloads including a link to MSRT - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... tails.aspx

This is not the old page I'm thinking of but it is a search page that allows searches by All Microsoft, Downloads, Support, Price, Category, including Sort By Newest, Oldest... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/D ... bledate&q=
