Thanks very much for packaging these up, I was able to get this running in Parallels on my MacBook Pro very easily. Runs XP better than my old XP machines did.

I opened up a Mega account and copied these files over to it.
In case these links disappear any users can just PM me and I'll provide links to my account.

I converted this VMWare image to a Parallels VM on my MacBook Pro, bought a DICE unit and it works PERFECTLY. Thanks for bundling these up!

My first purchase from Aliexpress was from Shenzhen Digiobd Electron Technology Co., Ltd.
It was faulty and they didn't offer to exchange it. In fact I had a hard time getting support.
Shenzhen Zeus Technology Co from Aliexpress have sold me at least four with no problems. They always post using DHL for only around $23 and despatch within 24-48 hours of payment.
If you deal with Many Deng it's preferable as she tends to despatch faster than her co-worker

Mike you can download updates including Windows Genuine Advantage then do: -
1
Run as an administrator with no other user accounts running.
2
Launch Windows Task Manager (Processes)- Ctrl+Shift+ESc. Leave it open.
3
Navigate to to C:\Windows\System32, and find WgaTray
4
Right-click on WgaTray.exe, and select Delete. Leave the deletion confirmation
5
Go back to Windows Task Manager and click Wgatray.exe.
6
Click End Process. When you are prompted for a confirmation to terminate the process, align the “End Process” confirmation box with the previous “Delete File” confirmation box, or at least have them close together. Do this because you'll need to do both actions quickly — at least within 2 or 3 seconds.
7
Click Yes in both boxes, quickly. Click on Yes on the Task Manager prompt (to “end the process”) and then quickly press Yes on the deletion confirmation (to delete the actual file). You’ll need to repeat this if you miss it.
8
Launch the Registry Editor. Click Start, then Run, and enter regedit.
9
Browse to the following location:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
10
Delete the folder WgaLogon and all its contents.
11
Reboot Windows XP.
12
Check your work. As a precaution, after you have followed the above instructions:
Go to Control Panel > Security Center > Automatic Update Settings.
Select the third option, “Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them."
Click OK.
The next time the “Windows Updates” icon appears in the system tray, click on the icon and it will display a list of available updates. Windows won’t automatically download and install them anymore.
If “Windows Genuine Advantage Notification Tool” is there, uncheck it and press enter to download everything else (if you want to). You can right-click to “hide updates” that you don’t want.
Select “Don’t notify me about these updates again”, so that they will be ignored every time updates are downloaded.
Just remember, from now on, make sure to check the list of downloads so that you don’t install any new versions of this “tool”.
I now have Vida on a Widows laptop as well as a Mac, thanks to you!
Added Wednesday 9th April I can confirm that having done the above to day I successfully downloaded the remaining 27 security upgrades for various Windows vulnerabilities and they are installing as I edit this. No sign of Windows Genuine Advantage being offered again - indeed if you look back through previously installed updates it shows Wgatray.exe with a red symbol and ? I will not be browsing anywhere from this VM so I am not interested in installing any other allegedly more secure browser, nor an AV as my host system has Norton installed.

I see where people are running this in Parallels but has anyone tried to run it in VMware for MAC? It just came out recently from what I can see. I am going to try it but I have to download everything and unpack it first.
