so was looking for some windows live essentials for windows xp copies

i found this link in the internet archive : https://web.archive.org/web/20091225025922/http://wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/E/3/E/E3EEC6D6-1141-40C4-840F-770F99B67986/en/wlsetup-all.exe

but it was downloading waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow

and im not even sure if its windows essentials

ill still leave it to download for now

but if there is any other version of it, lemme know

okay so belive it or not.... that link didnt download anything... soooooooooooooooooooo any other downloads?

Isn't this short-lived bloatware that partially depended on online services? Everything Microsoft makes is pushed with big fanfare and soon discontinued. The setup wouldn't run on Server 2003 SP2, so I don't know if it works. I found bunch of Languages, and would be annoyed by their existence if this was something I wanted.

@j7n You can make the setup run on Server 2003 by following this guide: https://msfn.org/board/topic/129276-how-to-install-windows-live-2009-on-windows-server-2003/

Yes, but I don't want it. I just wanted to test that it runs before I send him the file.

What components in Essentials are useful today?

I think some old games using it to store there save stages. Perhaps FlatOut 2 but I'm not sure.
