The Microsoft.com download servers (and related conxion servers) have
experienced some replication issues which may have prevented some
recent files (tools and/or patches) from being properly replicated
amongst the entire server farm.  (This resulted from operational
issues, not technical issues).  Due to the load balancing nature of
the server farm, users are randomly directed to various download
servers.  While most of the servers are properly hosting the related
files, some of the servers have yet to receive the files - this
results in a 404 error when a user is requesting a file from a server
that does not yet host a copy of that file.

The microsoft.com team is aware of the issue and is working
diligently to address the issue - both with Microsoft servers and the
conxion servers.  We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you
for your patience while we correct these issues.

Regards,

Secure () Microsoft com

I've had the same problem. I reported the fact that it was missing to
MS via
their site feedback mechanism, but got a standard "our servers might
have
been heavily loaded or your network connection might have been down"
reply
from some rep.

Interesting that they're advertising this tool to such a wide
audience, but
didn't even check to make sure it made it to the download servers...
