Windows Live Essentials XP and Vista

[Stefan43]

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I am looking for the Dutch offline installers of Windows Live Essentials for Windows XP (2009?) and Windows Vista (2011)

Does anybody know where I can find them? Microsoft deleted the software from their website, which is no suprise because it's Microsoft

Thanks

FYI: Microsoft will be ending support for (and therefore downloads of) Windows Essentials 2012 (for Windows 7+), including Windows Movie Maker, in January 2017, so grab a copy of it while you still can.

And oddly enough, just last night when I was updating an XP machine with the WEPOS patch, Microsoft Update offered me Security Essentials and Windows Live Essentials 2011. I took it up on its offer to install Security Essentials and it worked absolutely fine. Maybe I'll try WLE2011 next...

Yes, I read it somewhere. But I believe Microsoft already removed the offline installers, and the online installers will stop to work, just like the 2009 installers did.

Mmmh, as far as I know, Windows Live Essentials 2011 doesn't work on Windows XP, and requires Windows Vista or above. Does Microsoft Security Essentials still update definitions?

You quote this post which has an official MS direct download link in it (why do you think "Windows Essentials 2012" is in blue and underlined?):

And then you go looking for a link to the offline-installer, while all the time you already had one...
