Check the archives, past posting and you would find an answer there, just dont post a request without attempting to search first, since the answer is in the archive. With links directly to the files. This would have saved you from waiting for a reply.

Wow!! that was a pretty darn quick reply!!! But why doesn't someone upload it here on Oldversion.com? I do see that it's oddly larger than v6.0, though.

Microsoft has a tendency of adding and removing features, plus re-organizing code and changing the installer can lead to differences in filesizes.
I can't say why its' not been added to the main site.
