Saving Windows Updates - Windows RT General

Does anyone know how to save the .msu or .exe files from Windows RT's Windows Update? They're annoyingly not available for direct download, at least with publicly-revealed web links.

It can be downloaded through details link in the windows update window.

It can be downloaded through details or support link in the windows update window. And MS provide ARM updates on its website also.

moderate has found all the update links for Windows RT over here at mydigitallife;

Windows Mobile Device Emulators 6.5.x

I extracted the WinMo device emulators out of the accidentially published 6.5.x SDK (which has meanwhile been removed by MS). So if you want to give your apps a testride on them, here they are.
The zip (330 MB) contains 2 folders, copy them as follows, assuming you already have WM6 SDK installed.
DeviceemulationV65x ==> C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC
My Device Emulators ==> C:\My Documents\
You may need to modify the *.decfg files to your needs, please check the OSImage and Skin paths in each file to fit your configuration.
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK has now been officially released by MS.
download DTK from Microsoft
Thanks!

The 6.5.3 DTK is meanwhile officially released by MS. I'll remove the download as its no longer necessary.

Is this all 64 bit stuff?
Thanks a lot, very usefull, many many thanks
Yes, ofcourse it contains all 64 bit stuff.
Why are you repacking and reuploading Microsofts software, rather than providing direct links to their (much faster) mirrors?
So how about we provide the real link to the developer tool: Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP - April Refresh. I also recommend downloading Expression Blend 4 RC and the Expression Blend Add-in for Windows Phone 7
Official Microsoft links, fast mirrors, no reupload to sites where the OP get paid every time someone downloads.

Minesweeper on Windows 8

I wanted to play the Windows 7 minesweeper on Windows 8 and had to go through a lot of trouble to find the original Windows 7 files.
Once I found the files, patching them to play on Windows 8 was a cakewalk.
This is a patched version of Minesweeper 64-bit to play on Windows 8 for any other poor souls who might be searching for it.
Just extract the rar file to your Program Files directory.

why not just grab Microsoft Minesweeper from the store for free?
It's huge, has more startup time than it deserves, doesn't run on the desktop, and is touch-centric (a disadvantage on non-tablets). Need more reasons?

Win7 games don't work with Win8. They check the OS version. That needed to be patched. Changed a couple of hex values of the file.

[Q] Windows 8 RT + Java

Hello I am planning to buy an Asus device with Windows 8.1 RT, the problem is that I want to run an application which use Java. It seems that Java does not run in Windows 8 RT, is there some way around?
thanks
IKVM (it's a .NET-based Java runtime) works on RT if you "jailbreak" the OS, but there's no publicly available jailbreak for 8.1 yet. On 8.0 it might work, though. You could try running your program through IKVM on "normal" Windows to test its compatibility (which isn't perfect, though most pure-Java apps will run).
How limited is Windows RT to install any kind of 32bits based software?
Thanks

You're more or less safe to assume that any desktop program you find will /NOT/ install on Windows RT.
I just spent ages writing an incredibly lengthy post explaining why certain programs will or will not run on RT and other options only to get a gateway error when posting and losing all that I typed.
Nethams post sums it up nicely. If it won't run under IKVM or isn't in the list of desktop applications for RT on this forum, nope, not gonna run.
