Windows Live Essentials Offline Installer 2013

UPDATE 2015: Here is the. My brother and his wife came over today and the kids went trick or treating.

His wife mentioned she wanted to make a quick DVD of the pictures and movies we took, so I suggested Movie Maker. However, they only have dial-up and wanted an offline installer I could just put on a USB Stick (I actually figured I'd put it on their camera's SD Card.) I went to and searched all over, looking for an offline installer. I Googled with Bing, and then Googled with Google for things like 'Windows Live Offline Installer' and found nothing but confusion. Then I figured out this bizarre bit of UI on the. Rather than offering a small link for 'offline installer' or a choice, you have to click Download which will attempt to start a Download of Windows Live Essentials online bootstrapper. It will then go and download just the programs you want.

However, if you cancel the download immediately, there's a 'Try Again' button and some text that no one (including me) reads: 'Trying again downloads a standalone installer to your computer. This takes a little while, but may work better, depending on your connection settings.' I wouldn't label that Try Again, but OK. Long story short, here's direct downloads for the Windows Live Essentials English Language ONLINE and OFFLINE installers. They are current as of the writing of this blog post. I'm not sure if they are version-specific downloads but I will try to keep them up to date. • - 134 megabytes total.

• - 1 megabyte bootstrapper Or, if you want an offline installer in other languages, go to, click Download, cancel it, then click Try Again. I think it's weird, but there you go. I had a similar story with Adobe Flash player for FireFox: When FireFox updates, it checks that you have the latest version of Flash player installed, and since I hadn't, I was provided a link to install it.

Clicking the link brought up a page from Adobe, and clicking install showed a FireFox dialog that Adobe was trying to install an 'Adobe DLM'. So first try, I let it go, and of course they had to include some McAffee crap that I didn't want. So I tried uninstalling both the DLM and the McAffee thing, but then, FireFox again said I didn't have the correct version of Flash player. So I went back to the site, clicked Cancel when it tried to install the DLM, and then clicked the 'Direct Link' link.

This downloaded an executable, that forced me to close FireFox, and only then was I able to install the Flash player properly. Thanks for this, it's a really useful link to have especially since these are a set of tools that are very useful for or non geek friends and family who some of still don't have high speed Internet access. I remember going back only a few years when you'd download a service back you had the option of downloading a bootstrap installer and an offline installer. In a case like this a return to the old way of doing things would be a step forward, two links one reading 'Download online installer' and the other reading 'Download for offline installation' would make our lives a lot easier. When designing a page like this the designer needs to realise that the visitor will filter out everything other than the word download, so any explanation text is just wasting space as most won't read it. This was most helpful. You may recall I commented a few weeks back about problems installing Live on 64-bit systems.

Solutions I'd seen involve using a 32-bit machine to run the web installer up to the point where the individual application installers have been unpacked, then cancel it. You must then identify the installers, named with GUIDs, and copy to the 64-bit machine to install. I gave your download trick a try and sure enough, the full installer runs on 64-bit, so I could install Writer without any bother.

Seemingly it's only the little web installer that is 64-bit phobic. Carlos: I agree with you (MS rating us IT pros as stupids), however I am not as forgiving as you. I spent couple of hours to find that damn full package, with no luck. Bing is a shame, not even able to find relevant content on download.microsoft.com, I have to google everytime I look for sg on MS sites. There is no word for that, how badly I hate Microsoft for hiding details, deleting relevant information from the past, previous version of its own products etc.

Technet articles used to contain much more details 10-15 years ago. Now, I have to hunt down Windows NT articles, beause the shiny new 2008 server R2 articles are just bullshit generated copy-pastes, all the basics are written only in 10 year old documents. And of course there is a good chance they will be deleted in any second. I just cannot mirror the whole document repository of MS. The same applies to Resource kits: you cannot download some win 2000 reskit tools, MS is carefully removing them from anywhere.

But some tools found in NT or w2k reskit have no alternatives in the newer reskits. Yeah, you can watch the crappy whirling silverlight hourglass effect, it will take care of everything, dont worry stupido. If you have read '1984' from Orwell, MS is doing exactly the same here: modify history. It is not paranoia, its clear evidence.

Previous versions were also available on and, and included. History [ ] Windows Live Dashboard [ ] On August 25, 2006, Microsoft began seeking testers for their invitation-only Windows Live service named Windows Live Essentials. It was very similar to in that it allows users to discover, install, and maintain a number of Windows Live application programs. However, the original Windows Live Essentials was referred to as the website serving the purpose of allowing users to discover new Windows Live services. The Windows Live Essentials website was integrated tightly with Windows Live Dashboard, an application which offers a view of the services the user already has and what new Windows Live software and services are available.

Windows Live Dashboard required users to sign-in with their to check whether the service has been downloaded or not. At that time, web-based services such as Windows Live Hotmail (then Windows Live Mail) was also part of the list. Shortly after its initial release, the original Windows Live Essentials website became unavailable and the website was redirected to Windows Live Betas (then Windows Live Ideas), and as a result Windows Live Dashboard also became unavailable. Windows Live Installer (Wave 2) [ ] Subsequent reappearance of a Windows Live Dashboard is seen with the initial 'Windows Live Wave 2' unified installers from, and that was released on May 30, 2007. In the 'Windows Live Wave 2' suite of services, Windows Live Installer was the name of the website and software given to serve the purposes of allowing users to discover, download and install Windows Live software and services.

Users were able to select the software they wished to install on the website, and the website would pass on the information to the unified installer software such that the installer will only download and install those applications selected. Windows Live Essentials 2009 (Wave 3) [ ] The Windows Live Installer application was significantly updated with the subsequent 'Windows Live Wave 3' release of applications, with the new inclusion of (beta) and to its suite of products. On October 29, 2008, it was announced at the Professional Developers Conference 2008 that Windows Live Installer would be renamed as Windows Live Essentials, and would be integrated into to allow users to download the included Windows Live applications. However, the Windows Live Essentials applications will not be 'bundled' with the Windows 7 operating system.

This should allow more frequent updates to the Windows Live Essentials applications outside of major operating system releases. On December 15, 2008, the 'beta refresh' versions of Windows Live Essentials applications were released. This release included many changes since the previous beta release based on user feedback.

A significant visual change in this release was the introduction of new application icons which added a common design theme to all the Live Essentials applications. The words 'beta' were removed from most of the build numbers. On January 7, 2009, the 'beta refresh' versions were released as the final versions, with the notable exception of Windows Live Movie Maker. Microsoft updated Windows Live Essentials Wave 3 on February 13, 2009 and again on August 19, 2009, when Windows Live Movie Maker was released out of beta and significantly updated with additional features since the beta version released in December 2008. The final build number was 14.0.8117.0416. After the release of Windows Live Essentials 2011, which does not support, Windows Live Essentials 2009 was renamed to Windows Live Essentials for Windows XP and was made available for Windows XP users to help maintain the product user base.

The applications were updated with a / (except for Mesh and Family Safety) on December 1, 2010, and that update became available through from March 20, 2011.

On May 2, 2012, Microsoft announced the re-branding of Windows Live. Although all applications in Windows Live Essentials 2011 suite will continue to function on Windows Vista, 7, and 8, there will be no significant updates made to these applications in the future. On June 2014, Microsoft announced that Windows Essentials 2011 would not be available for download on Windows Vista. Windows Essentials 2012 (Wave 5) [ ] Microsoft released Windows Essentials 2012 on August 7, 2012 for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. Windows Essentials 2012 included SkyDrive for Windows (later renamed ), and dropped Windows Live Mesh, Messenger Companion and Bing Bar.

Microsoft Family Safety is also installed for Windows 7 users only, as Windows 8 has built-in family safety functionalities. Further, Windows Essentials 2012 also dropped the 'Windows Live' branding from the installer itself, as well as from programs such as Photo Gallery and Movie Maker, which have been branded Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker respectively. These two programs have also received several updates and enhancements since their 2011 release, including video stabilization, waveform visualizations, new narration tracks, audio emphasizing, default save as H.264 format, and enhanced text effects for Movie Maker; as well as integration and addition of as a publishing partner for Photo Gallery.

No significant changes or re-branding were made in this release for other programs such as Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Writer. Deprecation [ ] Some of the apps included in the package are unsupported on Windows 8.1 and 10 and are removed after an upgrade.

Bart Davenport Physical World Rarest. The Facebook integration in Photo Gallery and Movie Maker broke due to Facebook API changes; Microsoft did not release a patch to fix it. Microsoft turned off Windows Live Messenger's service and redirected users to Skype, another one of its messaging services; the installer has not been updated to reflect this change.

Windows Live Mail no longer works with Outlook.com using the proprietary DeltaSync protocol due to removal of support for the latter from Outlook.com, but can be configured to use such accounts using either IMAP or POP3 protocols. Windows Live Writer no longer works with Blogger due to Blogger's authentication API changes. The suite had otherwise not received a major upgrade since 2012, and it had not received any updates through Windows Update since 2014, although Microsoft offered a downloadable buggy update in December 2015. Finally, Microsoft announced that the suite would be officially retired on January 10, 2017 and would no longer be available for download, and that after the end of support date applications already installed would continue to work but with 'an increased security risk associated with use of unsupported products past their end of support date.'
