    Look again...

    <QP>
    MORE INFORMATION
    Update information
    The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download
    Center:

    Download the 931696 package now.
    ()

    Release Date: January 31, 2007
    </QP>

    ....although I'll admit that the download link takes you to a "We are sorry,
    the page you requested cannot be found" error, so my apologies.

    Windows Easy Transfer Companion was a beta anyway; it may have been pulled;
    cf.

    and


    And yes, that download link should be removed from KB931696 if the beta was
    pulled. I'll look into that for you.

    In any event, this has nothing to do with Windows Update.

    Re: Windows Easy Transfer Companion Download

    Recap:


    In short, Windows Easy Transfer *Companion* never made it out of beta and
    has been withdrawn. KB931696 should be pulled soon.

    I checked with several sources and have learned that the WET Companion was
    withdrawn. It appears that it was pulled due to incompatibilities with both
    Vista SP1 and XP SP3. There is no indication of when it will be fixed or
    when it may be available again .
