Oh NO !!! Microsoft Dll version website is broken...

[Arthur Hoornweg]

I'm not sure if this is the correct group, but I just noticed
to my dismay that Microsoft's DLL version database

(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/fileversion/dllinfo.asp)

is no longer functional.

The DLL version database has always been an invaluable resource
to me and saved me from "dll hell" more than once.

Today I wanted to find out which version of GDIPLUS.DLL is the
most recent one (there's a critical Jpeg security issue!) but
the page no longer works.





I'm posting this here, because I've searched for hours in vain on
the MS website for an e-mailadress how to contact the webmaster...

There was a recent windows update item addressing that I believe

Works for me though it's been redesigned. It seems all versions of files are now included (previously hotfixes weren't)

Hi David,

Whatever I enter as a search keyword, I get redirected to
the "help and support" page which gives me everything but
the info I need.

When I use Mozilla, I get the English page, when I use
MS internet explorer, I get the German page (which I
don't want!)


How do you get it to work? Do you use MS passport?

The only way I could get it to work was to log in with my passport
account. If I wasn't logged in, everything I did redirected me to help
and support as well.

The first time I did anything on the page I got redirected too. The second time (as I have lots of windows open and was unsure if I told it to go there, plus I had your long link and my truer link open - it was your link that redirected me - this explains why I tried a second time) it worked.

Browsers send a language code to web servers. If the web server cares it serves up pages based on the language code. In IE it's Tools - Internet Options - General - Languages. It will change available search engines as well.

I'm automatically signed in. But I get redirected on the posters URL but not mine.
