Download ancient Windows tools before they vanish (again)
via Legacy Update's Microsoft Download Center Archive:
"Over the years, Microsoft has deleted thousands of downloads for prior versions of Windows, Office, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and more. These downloads include ones for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7, old versions of runtimes such as the .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, and DirectX, and freeware tools such as Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft SQL Server, among countless other Microsoft no longer supports.
"Legacy Update has catalogued the Microsoft Download Center between 2012 and 2024. You can browse the archive below, or use the search box to find a specific download."
