| | Windows Live 8.5 Installer Hi all, Yesterday I thought I would download and install the latest version of live messenger. I went to the download site and to my horror I saw that the traditional single msi file was no longer available to download. You now have to download an installation wizard and then that gives you loads of options to configure and then only download the program afterwards. This wouldnt be too bad.... if it would work properly through my HTTP proxy and was a bit quicker. I know of at least 4 people who have decided not to upgrade purely because of how long this installer takes to install the files. Come on Microsoft...... back to a traditional single msi file for us to download and install when we want without having to connect to the net on each machine. Cheers Rt |

| | Re: Windows Live 8.5 Installer Hi, I installed Windows Live Mail and decided to uninstall it 3 days later. When I tried to uninstall it I got an pop up windows installer message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network rescoure that is unavailable" .... Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to folder containing the installer package "Install_{184E7118-0295-43C4-B72C-1D54AA75AAF7}" in the box below In the box, the path C:\Program Files\Common Files\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources\ is specified. I looked in that directory and couldn't find the file mentioned. I have no idea how to completely remove Windows Live Mail from my add or remove program page. I tried to reinstall it and remove it again, but that didnt' change any thing. Installing it again seems to have have completed successfully, but I couldn't get Window Live Mail to launch. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mike Live Mail Install_{184E7118-0295-43C4-B72C-1D54AA75AAF7}.msi 12,773 kb |
