How do I get the latest version of GenuineCheck.exe

Anonymous

From the following WEB page  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/exe-validation.aspx?id=29156 I downloaded GenuineCheck.exe as required. 

However on executing the program I got the following error message

"This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool is no longer supported. Please download the newest version and ensure that your system clock is accurate"

Downloaded a copy from Microsoft but the tool requires Windows XP to load.

Is there a Windows 7 version?

So where do I get a copy of the latest version?

Windows for home | Previous Windows versions | Windows update

You MUST use the 32-bit version of IE9 - not the 64-bit version.

If you're having problem then, check validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag and www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate

    I have the same problem. GenuineCheck.exe worked before a month without any problems on Windows 7 and Windows 7 SP1 on any browser, so why not now?

    There is nothing wrong with either your validation or activation.- you simply need to use IE (or Chrome) for any downloads requireing validation because Firefox doesn't work with ActiveX.

    I also ran validation as recommend to Michael Mills.

    The result was;

    "Welcome to Windows!

    Because Windows installed on your PC is genuine, enjoy the security, reliability and protection it provides."

    The pages then offers complimentary subscription to Microsoft Security Essentials

    Does this help with the diagnositics?
