First of all as you know to download windows live components such as Live Messenger, Live Mail, Photo Gallery…etc you have to download Windows Live Installer and download through that.
This method is the recommended way to install Windows Live products but sometimes the installer gets stuck halfway for no reason or if you want to reinstall you would have to download all over again.
So to end all those frustrations here are direct links to Live Components and instructions on how to install them.
1. Download from the below links
Sign-in Assistant (4.200.520.1)
Windows Live Mail (12.0.1606.1023)
Windows Live Messenger (8.5.1302.1018)
Windows Live Toolbar (03.01.0146)
Windows Live Photo Gallery (12.0.1308.1023)
Windows Live Writer (12.0.1366.1026)
Windows Live OneCare Family Safety (2.0.5817.2)
Windows Live Writer Update (12.0.1367.1128)
For the Windows Live Writer update file do not follow the below steps. Extract the .MSP file which is inside the cab file using winrar and install. (you need to have Live Writer installed first)
2. Now that you have downloaded you will be having an EXE file similar to this “mu_wlwriter_7ee55ff154a0c7d42a77540e12cc20efb3267f53.exe”. If you double click this EXE fill you will notice nothing happens. So what needs to be done is to extract the the actual MSI file which is inside the EXE.
3. To extract the MSI file you will need a Resource Editor.(I recommend ResHack or XN Resource Editor).
4. Open the EXE file from the resource editor (for this example I have used ResHack).
5. Select the “0″ in the MSI tree section(see screen shot). Select Action->Save Resource as a binary file. Save with a .MSI extension
6. Now you have the finished installer which works.
hello everyone.. i downloaded Photo gallery but nuthing happens when i download it.. I mean after download is complete .. nothing opens and there is no shortcut created in the desktop or start menu..can anyone help me out
@Umer
you have downloaded “mu_wlphotogallery_7bc06e4d3faa82a56905e53d1292cfce7b54c853.exe” this file. Now what you have to do is open it from a resource editor and under “PHOTOLIBRARY.MSI”(which you will see once you have opened the exe) there should be something called “Language Neutral”. Right click it and in the context menu click “export resource”, save it with a .MSI extension and run that. Now you will have Windows Live Photo Gallery installed in your system.
btw use XN resource editor(easy to use)
ah i almost forgot if it says you need Sql-compact edition installed to run go to the below link and download it(its about 1.5MB)

If you find the above resource editing a bit too hard ask our admin for help and in the mean time i’ll see if i can give a link to the final MSI application :S
Hope this helps
ok here is the link

Hi I am having trouble with opening my e-mails, this problem has just occured and when I click on an e-mail tomopen it the below messages appear.
The address book failed to load, Outlook Express in incorrectly configured, please re-install. OK
When you click on OK the below message appears.
There was an error opening this message, OK
I dont know why this is happening this is the first problem I have with Outlook Express.
Please can you advise my next move.
Kind Regards
Paul H
Yes paul, well the fact of the matter is that outlook address book is screwed up. You can delete the mail profile and re-create it or else you can switch to a different mail client like the Windows Live Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird
Try this and let me know
I just had to say thanks man
thanks for the professional guidance!

Thank you SO much!
Awesome!!! Thanks for posting these individually – I hate the WL installer.
