Running WLM on Vista Business 32bit with SP2.

I sometime get a crash when opening WLM. I get the popup that the application failed and the choice to restart etc.
If I click whatever close it and open again it usually works fine.

The event log shows:
Faulting application wlmail.exe, version 14.0.8117.416, time stamp 0x4bc9368e, faulting module MSMAIL.DLL, version 14.0.8117.416,
time stamp 0x4bc9370c, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00009d00, process id 0x1508, application start time
0x01cafcfea225bad3.

Where did you get that version?


---

I downloaded version 14.0.8117.0416 very recently from
http://download.live.com. I believe it is the latest version
that will work on Win XP machines. Version 14.0.8117.0416 works
perfectly on both of my computers.

The OP probably downloaded it from the same source.

Hi, Bob.

That is the build number shown for the installer, wlsetup-web.exe, dated
2/1/2009. But it is NOT the build number of WLMail and the other
components. Is it?

Would I get the same for W7? Are there any usability fixes in it (e.g.
as an incentive to bother updating to it <w>)?

FWIW the old one rarely crashes but it has *many* irritating usability
defects. Of course, it is pointless to call these "bugs" because they will
just be classified WAD/BAD.

Hi RC

Microsoft released build number 14.0.8117.0416 in April/May 2010.
That build number is definitely suitable for the Win XP operating
system. Other contributors to this newsgroup have reported that
14.0.8117.0416 will be the final version for Win XP machines.
However, I have no experience of Windows 7, so I don't know
whether it is also suitable for Win 7 Ultimate x64.

AFAIK, the new "wave" of Live products, which is still under
development, will not be compatible with Win XP.

Incidentally, I downloaded the full installer (not
wlsetup-web.exe) from http://download.live.com on 13 May 2010.
The downloaded file was:
wlsetup-all.exe, version 4.0.8117.0416, digital signature 28
April 2010 22:15:25

From the Help pages of my laptop computer:
Windows Live Mail / Help /About Windows Live Mail = Version 2009
(Build 14.0.8117.0416)
Windows Live Messenger / Help / About Messenger = Version 2009
(Build 14.0.8117.416)

File versions:
wlmail.exe = version 4.0.8117.0416, digital signature 17 April
2010 06:13:01
msmail.dll = version 4.0.8117.0416, digital signature 17 April
2010 06:12:41

Bob

From the download page link posted on the Windows Mail newsgroup. Don't remember
the link. Anyway it was wlsetup-web.exe with a timestamp May-?17-?10, ??2:19:13 PM.
Which one should I have installed?

Hi, Bob.

Thanks for that clarification.

I haven't used WinXP in nearly 4 years (since late in the Vista beta in
2006), so I probably wasn't offered that WLMail build. I downloaded that
wlsetup-WEB version AGAIN yesterday, but didn't run it. I don't seem to
have the wlsetup-ALL file. Which is just as well because all my Windows
Live Essentials (build 8.0.8089-0726) are working well in Win7 Ultimate x64.

Hi, Ron.

No. In Windows Explorer, it shows the file date as yesterday, 5/26/2010,
when I downloaded wlsetup-web.exe AGAIN. But when I hover my mouse over the
filename in Explorer, or right-click on it and choose Properties, it says,
"Created: Sunday, February 01, 2009, 11:37:31 PM".
