Windows Live Essentials Build 8117
Microsoft released Windows Live Essentials Build 8117 yesterday.
It will be the last update to the suite before they launch the new versions in June or July. Also, this is the last version that can be installed in Windows XP. The new versions will not support it.
This new installer includes update versions of Messenger and Mail, among other minor things.
Go to http://download.live.com to download it.
If you want to download the full setup to grab the separate installers just click on download after selecting your language, cancel the first download window and click the Try again button.
That second download will be the full installer.
The tutorial i wrote to modify Windows Live Messenger works with this new version as well.
I’m uploading the new switchless installers for all the different applications, including Window Live Writer that I somehow left out the last time.
