  1. The tool doesn't write anything to the registry. Unless you choose to save your settings. In that case, it writes the settings to the .NET settings storage under the application "Windows ISO Downloader". I don't know where in the registry exactly that is. To remove it, untick the box "Remember Settings". No need to go through regedit.

  2. 1809 is supposed to be released today. Once MS uploads the files, they will be available on the downloader, and the 404 message will go away.

    If you don't like this process, next March I could block the downloads for 1903 until it's confirmed that they are released. In case that's in the middle of the night for me, you're gonna receive the downloads a few hours late, instead of getting 404 errors for a few hours prior to the release.

     

  3. Office 2019 links have all been added to the downloader. Seems like MS is still providing disk images after all.

    Office 365 has not yet received new files. I suspect they will only be released in January with the next release on the semi-annual channel, at which point the current files will be replaced with Office 2019 files.

    So if you need Office 2016 images for Office 365, download them now, before they disappear.

  4. Version 7.10 (1 October 2018): Added Office 2019; added Office 2019 for Mac; fixed links for Office for Mac build 16.17; moved builds 16.16 and 16.17 under Office 2019 for Mac; replaced links for update installers of individual applications for Mac with full installers; added Windows 10 October 2018 Update; added the latest developer and Insider versions up to build 17763.

    (October update will not be available until the files are uploaded by Microsoft within the next few days.)

  5. These downloads are likely coming from the TechNet Visio 2010 Trial.

    If I add them, MS will likely discover that they're still up, and remove them fairly quickly (as it happened to the Office 2010 Pro Plus downloads before). I've not been able to find more direct links than those that you've already shared, although more of them should exist.

    Therefore, there's nothing to add, nor any further research required.

  6. What do you mean by master key?

    In the distant past, when MS products required a 10 digit key, they had a master key indeed (starting with "335-"). Needless to say, it leaked. You'll easily find it on Google. It can unlock almost all MS products that were available at the time.

    I would reckon that MS has learned from that, and no longer builds any master keys into their products.

    However, all current Windows versions (client and server) since Windows Vista have generic keys with which you can install but not activate Windows.

  7. That's a tricky question. Both files are the same product for sure. Whether they're the same files, I don't know.

    There are two records in the hash database. One for the United States, and one for worldwide.

    If you have the choice, get the one for worldwide, not the US. It contains one additional component which MS had to remove from the US version after a legal dispute.

    Since both files you quoted were also available to the US, I suspect they're both lacking the custom XML tagging component.
