    I'd like to do a clean install of VB 64, but cannot seem to find the WAU folder on my T61. Since it looks like digitalriver is down, I'm wondering what other options exist. I checked some online retailers, and it doesn't look like anyone is selling the DVD without including a license upgrade. While I don't mind spending a couple of bucks for the DVD, I'm not paying what they want for an upgrade key just do the clean install.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I guess I could always use the BSA, but would rather not. Especially since I deleted my restore partition, so I would have to do a full recovery to use it.

    Try this one out...it's the only place I could find. I just ordered one myself and there don't appear to be any issues.

    http://www.techexcess.net/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=66C-00094&affid=

    $7.99 plus shipping/handling, for me total was around $21.

    EDIT: Oop, didn't catch that x64. I suppose you could check with them and see if they have the 64-bit disk.

    it doesnt matter where/how you get the dvd, the license key is what matters.
