The "VFP Home Page" ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/vfoxpro/bb190225.aspx ) lists the download location for the hotfixes at code.msdn.microsoft.com. Other sites such as Sergey's at http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/vfp-90-versions link to the same nonexistent page. So does Christof's site at http://www.foxpert.com/runtime.htm .

After some Googling it seems this has been the case since May 2014 at the latest: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~KBUpdatesforVFPRetired~VFP . At this time it can still be downloaded from https://foxypreviewer.codeplex.com/downloads/get/847504.

Would it be a good idea to make a copy available here for download, also maybe on Foxite, other places?

Actually it would be nice if there was a master document somewhere that would explain how to get VFP9 and all updates and hotfixes installed on a new machine. I think this is going to happen more frequently with greater use of VMs either in production or by savvy developers.
