    Don't worry. That's what the forum is for.

    You can load the iso image from untrusted sources into the iso downloader (orange icon "iso tools"). If it is unmodified, it will be recognized as such through the hash.

    Should these images be modified, I think the Dell image might still work. It doesn't need a language pack by the way, as it is already multilingual. After installation, go to "Anytime Upgrade", and enter your Ultimate key.

    Or you load the Dell image into the iso tools, and remove the file ei.cgf. I've never tried this process with the Dell image though.

    It's 99% certain. In theory, the council has the power to stop it, but that includes people like Merkel, Macron and Tusk whose parties voted in favour of the reform. The protests do continue. The best strategy now is to kick those idiot MPs out of office at the election in May.

    Yep, I'm not really happy with my Chinese camera. I'm going to do the next video with my phone camera, maybe the quality will be better.

    Change the File unavailable message for Windows 7 and Office 2010 to a better message saying something similar to:

    Good idea, already done.

    Also, you should put the FAQ section in this error message it self because people are too lazy to click on the hyper link and read the FAQ.

    The FAQ section is quite long. Adding the whole text might keep even more people from reading and understanding the message.

    Not everybody can understand English and I don't know why it defaults to English UK when I am using en-us.

    It picks the default from your system language, but since I didn't want to incorporate all the various forms of English, I restricted the application to use en-US (and redirect similar variations like en-PH to it) and en-GB (and redirect similar variations like en-NZ to that).

    Make English US always available for Windows 7 and Office 2010 downloads, it is a bit awkward when this tool can't generate links for the most generic language of a Microsoft software.

    There are a lot more users who speak Korean, Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Portuguese than those who speak English. For some products, I have only one key to generate the downloads. If I use that key to always generate an English download, most users would never have the chance to get the download they're waiting for in the language they need. Therefore, this is not really a good idea.

    The new version 8.08 cleared bug at my environment.(Windows 10 x64 18343.1 Japanese)

    I don't know why, but I have could use this great soft normally again.

    Thank you so much.

    I'm glad it worked. The removal of the cookie notification was the culprit, as Microsoft delivers it only to some users through the API. It was not a good idea to just assume that it's always there, and to try to remove it without error handling. What a beginner mistake. 😳

    what can I do to not have it???

    It's your local connection issue. Something is blocking the application's access to microsoft.com.

    You can go through the steps from the FAQ one by one until the issue is solved.

    A: This is your local connection issue, and can have a number of root causes:

    • You have modified your HOSTS file. Please remove the following two lines.
      0.0.0.0 aa.online-metrix.net
      0.0.0.0 c.bing.com
    • You have installed software that prevents scripts from modifying secure websites, such as certain adblockers, firewalls or similar security related software.
    • You have disabled TLS 1.2 in your internet settings. You can enable it again in the control panel in the Internet Options category.
    • In rare cases, starting the tool as administrator can resolve the issue.
    • In rare cases, installing the latest Windows updates, or updating Internet Explorer or the .NET framework to the latest version can resolve the issue.

    Here's some info from the FAQ:

    Q: I'm experiencing one of the following symptoms:

    • After selecting a software version, everything grays out and freezes.
    • I'm receiving the popup message "ERROR. Please check your internet connection."
    • I'm receiving an error message in the status bar.

    A: This is your local connection issue, and can have a number of root causes:

    • You have modified your HOSTS file. Please remove the following two lines.
      0.0.0.0 aa.online-metrix.net
      0.0.0.0 c.bing.com
    • You have installed software that prevents scripts from modifying secure websites, such as certain adblockers, firewalls or similar security related software.
    • You have disabled TLS 1.2 in your internet settings. You can enable it again in the control panel in the Internet Options category.
    • In rare cases, starting the tool as administrator can resolve the issue.
    • In rare cases, installing the latest Windows updates, or updating Internet Explorer or the .NET framework to the latest version can resolve the issue.

    Besides this information, upgrading to MSIE 11 also frequently solves the issue (I need to add that to the FAQ...)

    That looks like a challenging project. I'll put it on my research list for later this year, but can't promise anything.

    Also when loading the Dell ISO via the ISO Tools, the SHA1 is not recognised even though the tool has this on the Download section when the ISO download is selected.

    Well, the checksums were from MSDN...

    The real problem is SHA-1 vs. SHA-256.

    Calculating the SHA-1 is already so sluggish for large files (thanks MS for this inefficiency in the .NET framework). Calculating both SHA-1 and SHA-256 would take really too long.
