Aaron,

There is a way to get around this using the Fastconv Extraction tool.
However, you have to call into Microsoft Support to obtain this as it is
not publicly available. When you call in have them search the internal KB
for "Fastconv". Please do not ask me why this is not publicly available as
I do not know.

For the phone number to call, please see the following link -

Ya i did that and this guy from india kept me on the phone
for 2 hours and i kept telling him about this utility. He
was a complete jerk and would not let me speak to anyone
else.

Hmm. As this util is not available for public d/l, contacting MS again is the only option. Meanwhile, I'll also write to the concerned people.

In

can anyone email me it?

Your choice, of course, but in my view accepting an executable
file E-mailed to you by a stranger on a newsgroup is foolhardy.

Most people who might send it to you are probably absolutely
trustworthy and it would be a rare person who would send you
something malicious. But personally, I wouldn't take the risk
when dealing with a stranger.
