    How does the Windows Live Installer calculate the file hashes

    Was looking at the cache.ini file for installing the different Windows Live
    programs and tried and see if I could get the same hashes. I could not I
    tried several algorithms. How does the Windows Live Installer calculate the
    hashes?
