===EDIT (7/9/2012)===Torrent is dead, download from [link] instead.
=================
Some of you may have noticed that Windows 8 RP did not come with the usual Microsoft Games. While there is no doubt that these will be added in the final release, some people have managed to put together a patch that will install them on your Windows 8 machine. The game files are straight from Windows 7. The patch is to bypass the version check that takes place when trying to open the executables. Without it, Windows 8 would refuse to open the game.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit installers included!

So it's a false positive? It probably detects it as a virus because it probably uses an exploit similar to what some viruses use. So with that said, it may be deemed harmless

It IS definately a Trojan. Even Win8-Defender says so: [link]

It's a false positive. This contains nothing malicious. Try actually installing it instead of scanning it with every anti-malware program out there.

I made the torrent specifically because the file size exceeded the upload limit. I'll see if I can upload it to a file hosting site.

The anti-virus identifies it as a Trojan horse.

Weird, I have this installed on my Windows 8 machine and I can assure you nothing bad has happened. This is most definitely not a Trojan. What anti-virus software do you use? It's probably a false positive.

Nice!
Thanks for sharing the patch!
Well, I come to like Siemon Thatam's puzzle-collection more than the built-in of Microsoft ^^
There is even a minesweeper in there! However, nothing of the other Microsoft-games.
They are available as download-programs or online-java-apps: [link]
