Windows Vista Free Direct Download Link
The difference between Windows Vista with previous operating system from Microsoft is that consumers can buy and download Windows Vista online from Windows Marketplace and have access to the software instantly. This may be due to increase confidence on anti-piracy measures built into Vista. But apparently, everyone who purchase the Vista license and product key via Internet will get the exactly same download links for 32-bit Windows Vista installation files, no matter it’s full or upgrade version and regardless of which title edition of Windows Vista bought.
Now the direct download links to the Windows Vista files purchased online have been leaked. As mentioned, the downloads are for 32-bit edition of Windows Vista (in order to get 64-bit Windows Vista installer, you need to order DVD from Microsoft after transaction). The Vista files is just like a complete DVD on retail market, can be used to install all editions – Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate (see comparison matrix), and either upgrade or complete full edition (see price differences). The only thing that matters is Vista product key given online, which will determine and unlock only the correct features assigned to the purchased edition.
The 3 Windows Vista installer package parts to download are listed:
- boot.wim (116 MB)
- install.wim (2.24 GB)
- X13-49120.exe (73.7 MB)
The files are hosting on the server on domain msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net owned by Digital River, one of the delivery partners for Vista and also the brain behind Windows Marketplace e-commerce store.
After downloading the files, simply double click on the executable (.exe) to start to install Vista. Note that 3 files must be put together in the same directory. You still need a product key where you can buy immediately from Windows Marketplace, or if you prefer Vista in a box, buy from Amazon.
If you have lost the direct download links, here is direct download links for the Vista files:
- boot.wim (116 MB)
- install.wim (2.24 GB)
- X13-49120.exe (73.7 MB)
There is also direct download links for 64-bit edition of Vista.

i want vista
August 26th, 2009 04:06
Jeez, guys, the links will say forbidden because microsoft have finally caught on that people are using them to download them without consent ( probably piracy ). And without trying to sound nasty, if you had all read the above post with a little bit more care, you would have found that it isnt one specific version, but includes ALL VERSIONS of windows vista. If you have all three files and are unsure of what to do, the place all 3 files into a folder, and click ”X13-49120.exe” and accepting it. the exe will the unpack all the files needed to either ”upgrade” or to create a ”bootable” ISO ( disc image, google it) which you can then burn to dvd to do a clean install. Sorry for my little rant, but peoples refusal to read posts properly on any site annoys me, considering the work that the author/s have put it to bring such fantastic content.

The SP1 install.wim file is about 350MB bigger than the RTm version, that’s the easy way to tell if the links have SP1 or not! 2.24GB is for the RTM release

No, but the May 6th links are working. Do you know if it has SP1 integrations yet?

Step 6: Press “3″………the option to “Uninstall Vista Crack” (This method removes any parameter relevant to installed cracks on your OS)-
Step 7: Then press “1″
Step 8: Reboot your PC

Step 10: Double Click ” install”
Step 11: Reboot your PC
Step 12: Do “Step 9″ and “Step 10″ again
Step 13: Reboot your PC

Is the a Multi Language version or just the English one? In other words: Is German included?
February 28th, 2008 05:57
Will these links change when SP1 is available? Presumably MS will change the install.wim file to the new version once SP1 is properly available, which will be good for those with the original build wanting to clean install with SP1 integrated.
