We are re-releasing an updated copy of the XP image, but there has been some delay in getting it online. We hope to have this up within the week. In the mean time, please see my comment on this thread from 7-25-2011 on how to get a non-expiring XP image.

Hi. First off, the images are really handy, so many thanks.

However it would be great if they were updated a little earlier. It's been a while since i used them, and my XP image had expired, so I went to the site only to find that the new XP image expires tomorrow, which isn't particularly helpful.

www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx has the current batch expiring on August 09, 2011. Will they be re-released?

We can't give you images which never expire for legal purposes. Even though you keep downloading them, you can't permanently save your changes. There are two options to have a never expiring XP image:

1) Activate your own XP image

2) Use XP mode with a copy of Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate

I want a multi-language version XP IE6 images, not just English.

Please, please, please stop these things from expirying. It's super annoying having to download and setup 3 virtual machine images every month. I've just downloaded a set that will expire next month already.

The Vista/7 images run far too slowly for me, I'm using the XP image 3 times with IE6, 7 and 8.

I really can't see the point in them expirying, we just download them again.

That structure sounds pretty good, great work :)

I really wish they didn't expire! It's annoying having to redownload new images every so often.

No 6.5 is released and still not comparable to the Iphone usability... :(

re: ADMX policy missing or blank - bug

davete — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:38:15 GMT

Group policy preferences couldn't be used because they are just that - preferences, not permanent enforced settings. Custom ADMX files are very handy and what is recommended to use if you want to roll out a number of different registry keys to all of your clients. They really are fairly easy to deal once you start working with them and have your group policy infrastructure setup streamlined.
