Does anyone have WindowsXP-KB955704-x86-ENU.exe

I need it to read 64GB SD cards on my XP netbook, and that includes
the card in my camera.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/955704 would be the place to
go, and several webpages point there, but it doesn't have it anymore.
It has these, including XP 64 bit!!!

The following files are available for download from the Microsoft
Download Center:
Update for Windows XP, x64-based version
Download the WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB955704-x64-ENU.exe package
now.

Download the WindowsServer2003-KB955704-x86-ENU.exe package now.
Update for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, x64-based version

Server 2003 Service Pack 2, ia64-bsed version
Download the WindowsServer2003-KB955704-ia64-ENU.exe package now.

Why does it have 64-bit but not 32bit. Can I use the server2003 file?
Or I'm hoping one of you has it stored where it was first dl'd. Is
that the Windows directory?

Backtrack using the archive.

I won't bore you with the details. Here is your link. The
file is not at this address on the Microsoft site, but is stored
on archive.org.

And I've noticed this trend elsewhere. Some hillbillies think it's
funny to remove the link for the x86 version of WinXP, because
"WinXP isn't supported any more", then leave the x64 one sitting
there (which hardly anyone needs) because... well, who knows.
Because it's what hillbillies and web monkeys do I guess.

The 955704 is also *not* listed on the catalog server.

Many thanks. I run XP in a VirtualBox VM in OS X so I can run exactly one piece of W32-bit application software and not have to upgrade to another version of Windows. I left Windows behind for good when I ceased consulting to Windows-centric clients. But, during those years I accumulated lots and lots of files (C and Perl source, .doc and .xls) that I don't wish to lose. I intend to backup those files on a RAID appliance with an exFAT volume. So, I have a removable USB disk I wish to format exFAT to be compatible with OS X and the RAID appliance. Could not get this download from the clueless folks at MS, who just want to argue with you about "you fool, why are you still running XP." It's none of their ****ing business why I choose which OS to run, but it would cost them virtually nothing to keep those downloads available, particularly since they continue to support the 64-bit version. Go figure... Thanks again and to web.archive.org.
