homecomputeraid Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 It doesn't look like it detects much. It's also not easy to run. I think I have to browse to the downloaded location and double click it! No start menu items are created, and according to Microsoft's site, no "program" is installed when it's run!

rowdy Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 It appears to run from the update site, i.e. not install, but it does leave a report in Windows/Debug folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
