When you want to download a file from Microsoft a WGA (windows genuine advantage) check is performed. Microsoft installs a small piece of software on your computer that contacts the Microsoft server and checks for validity. If the test fails you will not be able to download the file(s). This is extremely frustrating especially if you have a system that is legit.
The method that was described below is no longer working and has therefor been removed from this server.

[...] In a bid to protect Microsoft software from illegal piracy and counterfeiting, Microsoft has started Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program. One aspect of WGA is that several popular software and downloads available for free from Microsoft have been protected with WGA and required genuine Windows validation before users can download the software from Microsoft Download Center. These software includes Windows Defender (Beta 2), DirectX End-User Runtime, Internet Explorer 7 RC1 (Windows XP SP2), Windows Media Player 10, DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime, Photo Story 3, Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable and etc. If your validation check is failed then you won’t be able to download the files. Several crack, hack and bypass methods have been found in order to skip the Windows validation check when downloading from Microsoft Download Center. Now there is additional method found by gHacks where you’re able to download all WGA-protected free download software and downloadable files from Microsoft without going through or simply bypass the genuine Windows validation check. The method involves using Microsoft Genuine Validation Diagnostic Tool program MGADiag.exe. [...]

Boys i did it download all software media player 11,driectx,windows defender.if any one interest mail me at any time ok.
Hi,
max payne can you help me? where i can get your email ?
Thanks in advance
any one need my help?i download all latest software form microsoft mediaplayer 11,driectX 10,windows defender.mail me kamrulislam.islam@yahoo.com
Hi max Payne I’m trying to find the patch but can’t find it noware do u have patch or do the mannual reg trick
Hope you can help me Jeepman202
The hack was access able some years back. But now they allow only Genuine users(like me:D) to download softwares from their server.
Any genuine user can download and share with other users though being illegal I do the same with my friends.
What Mafia has posted does not work because there is some file in Windows System Folder(a .dll file) which is to be deleted to make this registry fix.
Cheers!!!
thanks Mafia my love
microsoft windows genuine message show on Computer screen how i disable it with some patch.i try to del with registry but not effected so give me some patch for it.
i downloaded windows media player 11 and deleted the shortcut and now I can’t find mp11
I am receiveing the microsoft ballon informing that you are not having genuine software
is there anyway out apart from licenced version
please inform in simple terms.
i am not tech savvy.
Can anyone help me out? i need windows media player 11 and my windows XP is …hmm….counterfeit i guess. idk got it from a friend. anyways i need a validation of my Windows and it fails every time. is there away to download WMP 11 without having to have a validation?
All these hacks seems to be so old now its doubtful that any of them would still work as microsoft constantly updates the wga “winodws genuine advantage tool” however I still dont see what the advantage is to the average computer user. say you install on a pc in one location an then u move 6 months later and have to re-install, well that could potentially cause the wga issue
Hi, if you want to bypass validation check for installing WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 IN XP. Then perform this -:
1) If you have installed WINRAR then it’s almost done !!
2) Right click the file and EXTRACT IT in a folder.
3) Now execute THE FILES LISTED BELOW
a) umdf.exe
b) WindowsXP-MSCompPackV1-x86.exe
c) wmdbexport.exe
d) wmfdist11.exe
e) wmp11.exe
f) wmpappcompat.exe
4) That’s all folk’s
ENJOY
THANKZZ
