This is a very simple trick I try every time a KB article seems not to point to an EXE package. In most cases it works.
As an example, I used this trick to download the hotfix for KB932590 (as you can see, the page doesn't contain a link to the download page).

  • open a KB article containing a link to the package download page (example: KB818383)
  • clic on "View and request hotfix downloads"
  • edit the URL of the new page, replacing the article number (in this example, replace 818383 with 932590)
  • press ENTER and... that's all, folks! :thumbup

Of course... thanks. In my haste, it slipped my mind to try this.

Edit: I've updated the download page link for 932590 on the Windows 2000 Post-SP4 Updates for HFSLIP page with MS Hotfix Request page.

Edit: updated the URL for the Windows 2000 Post-SP4 Updates for HFSLIP page.
