The downloader can't currently generate links

[mech-eng]

"The downloader can't currently generate links for Windows 7, as well as Office 2007 and 2010."

Above is confusing to me because I don't know how such things work. The downloader is a program which is downloaded from here. How does it works? How can the program generate the links? www.heidoc.net is offered in MS official forums.

Thank you.

Maybe there’s no product download for that specific platform.

Yes, but I was wondering also about how that program, the downloader, works. Do anyone know how such link generator programs works? For example how do they generate links? Do they have a relation with Microsoft's websites?

Thank you.

As I see, you're talking about this

"Important: The downloader can't currently generate links for Windows 7, as well as Office 2007 and 2010. We're trying to bring back some limited options for these systems with the next release. If you have further questions about this issue, please use the WinCert Forum to get in touch, so that other users can also benefit from the discussion, and we don't have to answer the same kind of questions by email dozens of times..."

As the site claims - I really don't know about it if it is legitimate or not, it offers this tool in order to download some genuine Microsoft products. Now, this message above clearly says that there are no links to download the things that mentions using the downloader.

With a little googling you'll easily see that heidoc.net provides the links but you must have already a product key in order to do the activation. So, it is essentially a way to download if you don't have the media for the product. Microsoft doesn't provide links for download for older products so this is a way to download. Also, you can go to official Microsoft website and put "heidoc.net" in the search box. It gives links to heidoc.net.
