I still get the following with the tinyurl link:

Pasting the above tinyurl into firefox results in the following link.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=272BE09D-40BB-4&d

Which appears to still be truncated. :-/

True, but here's the kicker: using the full URL, which I just dblchecked
from Rushby's original message as being (enclosing in <...>)...:

Yes, I tried the full url also, but was hoping I did something wrong. Sigh... guess not.

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=272BE09D-40BB-
49FD-9CB0-4BFA122FA91B&displaylang=en>

NOW gives me the same error page too. When Rushby suggested it
yesterday I immediately used it, and it allowed me to download the
Toolkit 2003 just fine -- so, I guess Microsoft must have killed that
possibility shortly thereafter (who said they can't move fast?-).

As of now, I don't know any more of a URL that's usable to download
this, therefore:-(

And with a new version of windows due at the end of this year, it's likely those who upgrade to Vista, will also need to upgrade to visual studio 2005 or later.

I've seen this pattern before. :-/
