I need access to an oversized PST file but the pst2gb.exe tool is no longer available and compact won't work

I need to gain access to an Outlook PST file that grew over 2gb

I had to try and make the title specific so that this question wouldn't get closed as a duplicate of other questions. Other questions answer by suggesting pst2gb.exe or the 'compact' feature in outlook.

I am unable to find pst2gb.exe because microsoft's own article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088) now links to a page that is no longer available.

I am unable to use the 'compact' tool in outlook because that first requires you to be able to import the pst file. The pst file won't import in the first place as it is too large. Catch-22.

So, does anyone know where else I can get the pst2gb.exe tool?

Does anyone know of a third way of getting into an over 2gb pst file?
