Oh god no wonder!!

Release notes!

If you install any combination of the Messenger 8.5, Mail, or Writer betas on one computer, each beta must be the same language version. If you try to install one of these betas in a different language, the installation will fail.

Don't really see the need too, I can't imagine using/wanting Windows Mail if you have Windows Live Mail installed. It's the same program with added improvements.

I switched to WLM because, for my purposes, Outlook has too much going on. A lot of people probably use Outlook that really don't need everything it features.

Why? WLM is a great upgrade to MSN Messenger and if the ads bother you, go download A-Patch for WLM and you might like it. Personally I think WLM is great! But I run A-Patch on every installation of WLM I do, I like the customization it offers.

I use Mess Patch which has even more options than A-Patch lol but I dont like WLM mainly because of its new UI, I forget exactly what about it but Ive given it two chances and I still like 7.5 better.

#68 ambiance on 31 May 2007 - 03:31

It's an improvement, but one thing I don't like is the border around the display picture. It tries to mimic the window border when it should use the photo border that is applied in a pictures folder on Vista instead.

Then again, when has Microsoft ever had a consistent gui between it's os and applications?

I couldn't get Live Writer to install though, I'm guessing it's because I've got the UK version of Mail and Messenger and Writer is for the US?

Yeah...someone didn't test this new installer system out....I had to delete the WLInstaller / WindowsLiveInstaller folders for each install.

And what exactly is this Dashboard.exe? Anyone have any clues?

And, yeah while we're on the subject of this Dashboard...why name is Dashboard in the first place? Regardless of its intended use, it's just more fodder for the mac fanboys.

Update: Nice...Live Mail doesn't want to start. It keeps popping up an error complaining about needing to be connected to the internet. Eh...I am?!? Well unless I've suddenly gotten some superhero-like power to post messages to Neowin using only my mind and a keyboard. Hmm...now that would be nice... *dreams* Oh, Windows Live...you silly, silly fool.

First, if you installed the leaked Spanish version, uninstall it from 'Add and Remove Programs' in the Control Panel. Next, go to "C:/Program Files/" and delete the Windows Live folder. After that, open "C:/Documents and Settings/All Users" and delete the WLInstall and Installer folders in there. Reboot (I didn't have to but it can't hurt) and then try running the installer again.

If you are trying to install more than one of the programs, I had to redo step 3 before moving on to the next program.

So thats:

If you installed the leaked Spanish version, uninstall it from 'Add and Remove Programs' in the Control Panel.
Go to "C:/Program Files/" and delete the Windows Live folder.
Open "C:/Documents and Settings/All Users" and delete the WLInstall and Installer folders in there.
Reboot (I didn't have to but it can't hurt) and then try running the installer again.

Hope it helps. Still having trouble getting Live Mail to even run but at least I was able to install it. One hurdle jumped, who knows how many more to go.

I cannot get it to install at all, uninstalled the Spanish one, deleted the directories, tried installing this beta and it errors out...so this time is someone going to answer me -- unlike in the forum where Mods seemed to keep deleting my posts -- and tell me how to get this installed without having to completely reinstall Windows so that I can get 8.5 installed?!

#96 RanCorX2 on 31 May 2007 - 17:23

sorry but i have to say this beta stuff is pretty rubbish even for a beta, i would've of expected it to of at least passed the install phase, sigh.

The new Windows Live Mail UI is very slick. Under Vista, the toolbar uses a slight hint of Aero Glass.

The major eye sore comes when you open up the options. They took a step backward compared to Windows Mail: the freaking Windows 9x icons are still there.

this let me install live mail perfectly:

1 If you installed the leaked Spanish version, uninstall it from 'Add and Remove Programs' in the Control Panel. If not then just go to step 2.
2 Go to "C:/Program Files/" and delete the Windows Live folder.
3 Open "C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/" and delete the WLInstaller and WindowsLiveInstaller folders in there.
