Hi Sergey,

I am making an assumption that you are the Sergey who posted the password issue on my blog. I too got the prompt this morning when I tested the link, but I think we got the wrong file. The one I pulled this morning was named different than the file I pulled yesterday. It could be I clicked on the wrong link in my test this morning.

The file name you should download is 374840_intl_i386_zip.exe. This file is not password protected in any fashion.

Good news on the Merge Module having the appropriate files. Microsoft knows about the missing DLL in the download file.
