Hyper-V Manager Vista SP2 - two possible downloads one wrong

I could not get Hyper-V manager to install on Vista even though I have done it before. A couple of frustrating days later I found this post from someone equaly frustrated. Many Thanks
Frustrated with installing the hyper-v manager to remotely manage hyper-v server 2008

Summary of original post:
There are TWO possible downloads on Microsoft Download Center, both named as "KB952627".  There is a KB952627 download which is dated 6/26/2008, AND ANOTHER which is dated 7/17/2009.

Unfortunately, if you search for "hyper-v manager vista", only the older download appears.
Even more, the KB article links to this older version.

The correct download:
I have found the correct link dated 7/17/2009 and installed Hyper-V Manager
Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows Vista
