    So I needed to get Windows Installer 4.5, easy - get on Microsoft Download center - search "Windows Installer 4.5". Done. WRONG. Bing: "I could not find that" :confused: Ok did I mistype 4,5 vs 4.5. Try again without - "Windows Installer", halfway down the list I found it "Windows Installer 4.5". Huh, wonder why I didn't find it in the first run. :wtf: I download, install and then I notice something - how stupid of me. It is not "Windows Installer 4.5" it is "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable". DOH!! Everybody knows it's redistributable, dumb dumb me. Back to school, do not collect $200 if you pass start. :sigh:

      That's one of the reasons I've stuck with Google: "Windows Installer 4.5". Top of the list: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en[^] If you will expect Microsoft products to work with other Microsoft products... tch! ;P

        That's why it is called bing: it is the sound it makes when you hit something empty.

                I had this problem too (see here). "Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1" produced no results, but "Visual Studio 2010 SP1" got me what I was looking for. :doh:

                  Did you click the search button or the web search button? When I click the search button on here, I get no results.
