I've given up. I posted a message on bugzilla asking where the update is to 
fix installation problems for a windows xp and 2000 vm's. No response. Sent 
an email message to the people involved with the problem, a Justin M. 
Forbes" <jmforbes at linuxtx.org. I got a message from him saying that the 
updated file should show up in the F13 updates.

Still haven't seen it and I sent him another email. No reply. So I'm asking 
here.

Is there some reason why why this subsystem is not being fixed specificaly 
for F13? As I saw on some other posts it has apparently been fixed for other 
distro's.

If the average user doesn't know about a work around they have zero hope of 
getting it fixed. They only way for them is waiting for the updated packages 
to show up in the updates repo's.
