It turns out I can't inslall Windows live essentials 2009 even from offline installer. It says I lack windows installer, despite i Installed windows installer 4.5 at the very beginning of the process :/

Anyone had more luck?

Have the file wlsetup-all.exe in polish tested in my VM, where I installed them without any problems and error messages. Will send you a PM with problem solving.

Links to Service Pack 1 is already inoperative.

If you want links to the (English only) 2000 and XP service packs, and Internet Explorer, you can use the page I created a few years ago. It automatically downloads the SP's from the Internet Archive.

http://sdfox7.com/dl2kxpie.htm

The SPs are also in the http://sdfox7.com/2000/ and http://sdfox7.com/xp/ directories.

IE 6 for Windows 2000 isn't on that page, but all the versions are in the FTP here: http://sdfox7.com/ie/win32/ (older 16 bit versions for Windows 3.x are here: http://sdfox7.com/ie/win16/)

If there is interest in the update collectors on a corrected KB4494528 (Update for MSI 4.5 from April 2019, the file msi.dll was not registered correctly). Available for all language variants. The updates can be requested from me by PM.

Can I integrate the corrected KB4494528 with nlite or /integrate switch into WinXP .iso?

This works with the corrected patches, I tried it with the /integrate switch.

[actinium]

@heinoganda thank you for the quick answer.
I suggest that you send the corrected file to microsoft, so that all users can download it

The way they're keen to kill XP forever, they'd just throw it straight into the memory hole. It's not worth the effort!

I can control myself, therefore no public download links!

Honestly, MS can integrate even more censorship modules and other nonsense in their current "permanent construction site", which goes past me.

I continue to use Windows XP!

I think that it may be beneficial to create a new topic with all the links listed directly in the post instead of a text file. This way they could be indexed by search engines, and also hopefully grabbed by the Wayback Machine while they are still functional.

In fact, regarding the Wayback Machine, it's actually easy to request a webpage to be saved!

Checking the "Save Page Now" form, it uses the URL "https://web.archive.org/save/" prefix, followed by the URL of the page to be saved.

Tried manually (yep, one by one) with the links on the "KB3124275 IE6 Cumulative Update" section of the .txt file (BTW, thank you @ED_Sln! ) and it works!

Here's an example

So a little help in archiving the rest would be useful for everyone here. Thanks! 

(In fact, it's possible to create a script and do this automatically, but I guess the feature has a request limit, like modern APIs.)

[PCDW_386]

An update about the Wayback Machine saving process.

I finally got some courage and, after thinking, searching, reading and even asking for help (a big thank you to them! ), wrote a Python script that automates that said saving process.

It's sloooooow  but restartable (i.e. will continue with the first link left unprocessed), so it will take a while to go through the links @ED_Sln posted before. But rest assured that, eventually, all those links will appear on the Wayback Machine! 

Right now (at the time of writing), 284 links had been processed 

[heinoganda]

I am looking for the hotfix KB951830 for various languages (I already have DEU, FRA, PLK and ENU)! You are welcome to contact me via PM.

The Updates.txt file have a section called "KB955704 exFAT", which its entries point to its corresponding files on the Box service.

I managed to save them on the Web Archive, too 

EDIT: Here's also AppLocale 1.0, as found on oldversion.com, with its corresponding Web Archive link:

I'm glad to announce that, of the 5624 links present in the Updates.txt file (w/o counting the KB955704 exFAT and AppLocale ones, see here), 5623 have been saved on the Wayback Machine! 

The only one that couldn't make it is the following:

https://files.downloadnow.com/s/software/18/03/38/WMEncoder.exe?token=1557858881_d36aa14ca9b11374b207834a43b8914f&fileName=WMEncoder.exe

When I tried to access with the web browser, the server returned the message "An error occurred while processing your request", with a reference number.

@ED_Sln May you help me with this only link, please? It seems it's necessary to have a valid token to access the file, although I'm not sure.

(Of course, if someone else happens to have access to this file, your help will be greatly appreciated! )

Thank you in advance!
