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?

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'm in training right now for microsoft premium tech support. We just did a lab on this the other day. You need it, or you encounter the errors that you're going through. If you don't see it, refresh the updates and then see if it pops up. I'd also check to see if it's already installed. Since it's at a system level, the language package shouldn't change this.
