Does anyone have a copy of the Connectix Virtual PC 6.0.2 updater (not looking for a pirated copy of 6, just the free 6.0.2 updater)

I can't find it and since my HD was trashed in a storm, I have to re-install VPC6. The only updater I can find now is the MS 6.1, which I really don't want to use. (I've heard a lot of bad things about crashing, and 6.0.2 was working fine.)

Can anyone email me a copy or direct me to a download site with it?

Thanks.

You can also try looking for 6.0.1. 6.0.2 was only for users with AirPort Extreme.

Really? I thought there were stabilization / speed increases with 6.0.2... guess not. I don't know 'cuz I went from 6.0 to 6.0.2. If that's the case then I know I can get 6.0.1 from a friend of mine.

Thanks

Yep, it was only for AirPort Extreme users. Connectix discouraged non-AirPort Extreme users from using it.

The following is from the Read Me in the 6.0.2 installer.
Connectix Virtual PC for Mac Version 6.0.2 Read Me

Connectix Virtual PC for Mac, Version 6.0.2 Read Me for PC-DOS, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional and Upgrade Versions

This Read Me file is divided into the following sections:
* Changes from Virtual PC 6.0.1
* Changes from Virtual PC 6.0
* How to Contact Connectix Corporation

Changes from Virtual PC 6.0.1
* Fixed an incompatibility problem between Virtual PC and Apple’s Airport Extreme card.

Changes from Virtual PC 6.0
* Fixed an issue on G3 machines that caused Virtual PC to unexpectedly quit when a PC was restarted or launched in full screen mode.
* Fixed a related issue which caused the configuration associated with a PC to become corrupted after restarting or launching in full screen mode on G3 machines.
* Made changes to allow Quicken TurboTax Deluxe to install and run properly within Virtual PC.
* Minor corrections to the Japanese localization of Virtual PC.
...
I left out the 'How to contact Connectix" since it doesn't seem relvant anymore

FWIW I never installed 6.0.2 because it was/is only for AirPort Extreme users, as Art already posted.

Thanks for the info guys.

Now I don't have to keep looking for that update. (Unless I move up to airport Extreme, I guess)
