Vista - Install problem

I am trying to install WLM on a work machine without success. After 6 tries
over different times of the day and over different days, I always get the
"Sorry, we could not install this program" message. Had no problem at all
on two PCs at home. Machine specs Pentium D, WinXP SP3, with absolute loads
of disc space. My work environment is a university campus, and so my
connection is through a proxy server that requires authentication and the
university's firewall (which I have no control over). I suspect one of
these is the issue - there is no pop-up to ask me my proxy authentication.

Is there any other way to access installation files? e.g. a redistributable
version?
Or any other solution for that matter.
cheers
Bill

The information at this link will guide you to downloading the Windows Update download of WLMail, and extracting the MSI installer from it using a resource editor: http://dotnetwizard.net/?p=476

The location of the Windows Update download is obtained from WindowsUpdate.log (after a successful download) by searching it for "wlmail".

Thus, for the English version of WLMail 12.0.1606, the download is:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...ec36b3350e.exe
