As much as it is hated, Windows Geniune Advantage is now a required part of Microsoft Windows. This is the quickest way to install it. I use this method of firefox systems and to roll it out across our network quickly.

As much as I personally hate WGA (and I really do), Microsoft is going to require it for additional updates. On the network I manage, I needed to distrubute it as easily as possible.

Howto Install WGA Manually:
1. Download the WGA Update from here
2. Click Save if you want to save the installation package locally
3. Click Run if you want to install the package on your local system
