Latest Windows Essentials Version Released

[derekimo]

cosy, first uninstall 2011, then go to OldApps, there you can download the last 2009 build setup.

What I'm wondering is for how long we can use v2009 before MS forces us to update to v2011?

Haha.. Probably not that long. I remembering wondering the same.

Yeah.. But its still bigger than previous versions, and you cant make it any smaller. Also, not being able to change your name and stuff, is a bit upsetting.

It's not bigger if you put it compact view, like swarfega suggested.

And if you click on your name, the dropdown list has edit name and you can switch view.

No, even with compact view, it is bigger. And i already knew you could do compact, if it was that big box, my god, i'd stop using MSN all together if thats what they forced on us.

Bigger than what? It looks the same to me.

In the older versions, you could make the " compact " window, more compact, in this one, you're not aloud to make it any smaller.

Haha. I know, right? xD..
Did you notice even in compact, its bigger, and you cant even edit it? You can just make that compact, " BIGGER. " Also, the whole name thing. Thats just.. fail. Srsly. Having custom names and what not was sweet. I'm just alittle annoyed that even with me somewhat fixing the memory problems i had, MSN still doesn't run like i'd want it to with Killer Zeno Pro.

windows live mail converstation view

There is a similar problem with windows live mail conversation mode. If you dont like the new threaded view it can easily be turned off.

To do that go to the view tab>conversations>off

Brink, how did you find the links?

 

[Brink]

Hello Ravanx,

It's the same link as for the "Download Now" button on the main Windows Live Essentials 2011 Download Homepage (same as on first page), but just switch out the file name (below) and remove any stuff after the file name in the link instead.

Web installer file
wlsetup-web.exe

Offline file
wlsetup-all.exe

Oh. What I meant was, how did you find out that all you needed to do was to switch that out?

I found out about this when I downloaded the full installer in the past... after I did some clicking around the microsoft website and I found it.

How did you find it out? If microsoft decides to change the filename for the offline installer, is there a way to find out the new filename?

 

[Brink]

This is what they have been using for quite some time now. I suppose that if they changed it, then Google will have to help find out what it was changed to.
