I have just requested hotfix: KB Article Number(s): 983385 Language: All (Global) Platform: Windows Server 2008 x64 Location: (http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/WindowsServer%202008%20R2/sp1/Fix316354/7600/free/412727_intl_x64_zip.exe) However - the password sent in the e-mail just doesn't work (I have made 2 separate requests, and am 'cut-and-pasting' the pw from mail into the dialog box) - the entry field just clears when you press 'ok' or hit return. I have installed hotfixes before with no problem - what can be done ? Regards, Fons

the issue surfaced yesterday in another forum (i believe hyper-v), a moderator was able to verify this and its been passed on to the hotfix department. if its urgent i guess youll have to call support, else a little patience edit: its a thread in the hyper-v forum "Unable to download and install hotfix KB975530"
