WinHlp32 Urgent help required

I'm trying to get an old development system going that uses winHlp32 type
help files. When I follow to the appropriate Micrsoft download page, I am
offered either of 2 files, one xxxxxx64 and one xxxxx86. I'm on a dual core
Turion64 processor here. It isn't clear which I should download.

I tried both. The 64 one seems to download silently and do nothing. The 86
one just says the data on the microsoft site is invalid.

What do I do? This is very urgent. I really don't want to have to transfer
everything else back to XP.

You looked here? This is the file that works for me on a 32-bit system.

Yes. Trying to download the second file on that page (listed as size 601kB),
gives a message box listing the error message as 0x8007000d and saying the
file is invalid.

Try again. I just checked the link and it successfully downloaded
Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.msu.
