Latest Windows Essentials Version Released

Hmm. The updated mail seems to load much faster. Its almost usable now

My only question is why this update did not show up in Windows Update. I have it set for Microsoft Updates also so I would think it would be there. If I had not seen this updated thread I would have missed it. Thanks for the update, Shawn.

Interesting point. Me too. Perhaps it is not considered a mainline product since it is "free".

You can adjust how Silverlight updates by opening the Silverlight shortcut in the Start Menu, or the file below for your 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7. The red numbers indicate the version number. You would want to look in the latest version number folder. :)

32-bit Windows 7
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\4.0.51204.0\Silverlight.Configuration.exe

64-bit Windows 7
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\4.0.51204.0\Silverlight.Configuration.exe

I should have been clearer. I was questioning why Windows Live Essentials was not updated through Windows Update.

thanks,
Jim

Hello Ravanx,

This will show you how to change the new version in Windows Live Messenger back to "compact view".

Hope this helps,

Hi, Brink,

Actually I have Windows Live Essentials 2011 installed, but the versions of Sept 2010.

Is there a way to update to the Dec 15th versions without reinstalling the whole stuff? In the case of Windows Live Mesh 2011 and Outlook Connector this is a little cumbersome if you have to do it on 3 computers and have to reapply all your personal settings again.

I mean command-line options like
wlsetup-all.exe /forceinstall /all /overwrite /silent

Never got an update to Live Essentials 2011 in the meantime except Silverlight.

Thanks in Advance

Sincerely yours Oblomow
