There is no ban, but there is a ban

"Together with documents pertaining to this ban on the worship of Dholgyal, this Congress will urge each and every spiritual master, including geshes, that in the interest of the health of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Independence, they should stop worshipping Dholgyal;"

USB Drive from Windows7 USB DVD tool

I just had such an issue trying to create a bootable USB drive on Windows 8.1. Every article online states that you should use the Windows7 USB DVD tool which is easily downloadable from Microsoft. When I tried to install it, it just did nothing. No error messages, nothing. In the end, I opened a command prompt and navigated to my downloads dir and ran:

> Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe /C

Which enabled me to extract the files from the executable and then double-click "setup.cmd" and it installed!
