WCF Data Services 5.6 download link broken

I am trying to install SharePoint 2019 on a Server 2016 system, but the the prerequisite installer download of WCF Data Services 5.6 continues to fail download the file.
I have searched all over the web, and everyone links to the same file download (http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/C/A/1CAA41C7-88B9-42D6-9E11-3C655656DAB1/WcfDataServices.exe). However, this link has been dead for some time now. A lot of previous posts also reference that this link was taken down, then put back up. It appears to be down again. Does anyone know where I can get this file?

Clever play there. I wouldn't even have considered that. That got it!
