Microsoft Fix It for Windows 8.1

I just found out that Microsoft Fix It tool won't work on Windows 8.1.   You will get this error:

We're sorry, but your operating system is not supported by Microsoft Fix it at this time.

http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

It appears that the Microsoft Fix It has been re-branded as a Solution Center and this version works with Windows 8.1, Windows 8 & Windows 7.

1. Go here: http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ 

2. Under Section 2, select:  Install or upgrade software or hardware

3. Run Now:  Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled.
