HOTFIX: Windows Calendar has stopped working

It seems MS are now aware of this problem, see:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933942/en-us


I've asked for the hotfix, but I'll be very annoyed if they start my
support countdown for this call.

No, hotfixes are free for all legitimate Windows.
Hotfixes do not affect your "support countdown".

Hotfixes are available to all, whether OEM or retail, at no charge so it
doesn't affect the retail versions support countdown.

let you download it?

More info:


ACTION PLAN:
Step 1:
I had already sent the hot fix in an email which you requested and try
installing that fix and see how it works or try the next step.
Step 2:
There should be a spare copy of WinCal.exe in:
Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-calendar_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_8eb9f1cf61dcab82
Copy and paste it into: Program Files\Windows Calendar and see if that
fixes things. (Sfc /scannow should also help)

Hi there,
I have the exact same problem - please can the hotfix be issued with a

Thanks

You have to contact Microsoft for hotfixes who'll
send it to you directly with a password good for a week or so.
