okay.... which ones are found in-files only, and which are the complete assembly...? help us make a revision.... and if in that case, how come that dlls have strings, it's then means they were just copied from the build they took off... so the build exist... or.... eh...
6.2.8102.109.winmain_win8m3.110912-1733 is what i'm running. is that the latest update for wdp? i have 9 patches installed.
