Decrypting Microsoft's SDC-Files

[aldente]

Hellow!

I have found some very nice Microsoft Products on a very nice ftp-Server, but there is a problem:

They are encrypted SDC files!

Read this:

h++p://www.bus.emory.edu/requestsoftware/msdn_guide.pdf

And this:

"The encrypted image is known as a Secure Digital Container (SDC) and is hosted (...)"

or this:

"Jack:

Rightclicking on the SDC file and then trying to run it with WINXP.sdc.exe won't work. Just pop in the CD containing the SDC file in the drive. Now fire up WINXP.sdc.exe. It should find it automatically.

Make sure that your cd contains the (encrypted) file WINXP.sdc. The downloaded program WINXP.sdc.exe is supposed to work with this file.

>>Another quesion: after you opened xp.sdc,....

WINXP.sdc.exe extracts (decrypts, whatever) the SDC file WINXP.sdc to your hard disk. The extraction should produce (among other things) a readme file, and setup.exe. Read the Readme file to get installation instructions.

The above instructions refer only to Windows XP. I've no experience with installing VS.Net, SQL etc."



I even found some of those files on other sites:

There you can download some very interesting things - but how the hell do I decrypt them???

I could not find the file the guy above talked about.

Please help!

Thank you!
