The Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

The Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 contains the Msdelta.dll file. The Msdelta.dll file is a library that is part of the Windows Vista operating system. The Msdelta.dll file exports functionality to create and apply binary deltas.
