I think it's unavailable from MS's site right now. Luckily I have a copy of the last version they had available. Get it here.
Hope it works out for you!
 
Edit: This is Version 5.00.3805

I've also added an extra download link to try and help anyone else who comes across the prob as I did. You can also find the file here. It won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
