Enjoy,

Thanks for the direct installers!

Is there any chance to download these in German?

Hi Mathias,

Welcome to the forum.

I found the direct downloads for Windows Live Mail Beta 1 and Windows Live Messenger Beta 1 for all available languages. Including German.

I'm glad to be one of your new members.

Thanks for the links but I've installed the English installers now (Beta 2).

Your welcome Mathias,

Glad to have you here.

Thanks for posting the direct links, this is much appreciated.

Some of them look to be broken, but likely an issue with SkyDrive at the moment.

Hi Tomeppy,

Welcome to the forum.

I shall keep a eye on the download links from Skydrive to see if it is just something temporary on their end. Thank you for letting me know.

Shawn

The links at Skydrive seem to be working fine now.

Shawn

Thanks. I just grabbed the other file I was wanting/needing.

Cheers!

Your welcome Tomeppy.
