You no longer have to wait to open a support ticket; talk to a representative for requesting the hotfix.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can do it yourself now!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How? Just go to &lt;a title="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6516433" href="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6516433"&gt;http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6516433&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and enter the following information:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Country of residence&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;KB Article Number&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Platform [x86/x64/ia64]&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Product Language&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your Email Address&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you submit the request, you should be receiving an email with the link to download the hotfix.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now this is a lot simpler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1599660" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/bhaskar/archive/tags/Hotfix/default.aspx">Hotfix</category></item></channel></rss>
