Where is Microsoft Tinker ?   
Hi,

I just used Windows Update to install Microsoft Tinker on my Vista
Ultimate x64.
Everything went OK.
However, I couldn't find it anywhere to play with it.

Anything wrong, please ?

Alan

Hello Alan, 

It should have been added to the Games Explorer window in the Start
Menu. This tutoriral will help show you this location if needed.

'Games Explorer Link - Fix'

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Check in the Start > All Programs > Games > Microsoft Tinker. Or in the 
Games Explorer. If it's not there, try the Windows Updates again and see if 
it shows up. It may not have installed correctly.

Re: Where is Microsoft Tinker ?   
I had the same problem and resolved it by installing all available
Ultimate Extras. I hope that this helps.

The Games folder for Tinker can also be found under 'Program Files(x86)'
