Install Windows Live Suite applications on Windows Vista x64 (the hard way)

anti-tgtsoft.com — Microsoft just released a new “unified” installer for a bunch of Windows Live applications. It’s so great, it doesn’t work on 64-bit machines (looks like someone forgot a Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection call or two).

Who dugg this?

  • Rafael, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Why do you think I patched the installer? Did you read the entry before commenting?
  • xxhiroshi21xx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Oh well, so as it stands there are no new WLM apps easily available for x64... Is that what your saying, jcheng?
  • xxhiroshi21xx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Except it's not really worth it to go through all of that when you can just install the applications separately... I'll digg it anyhow, considering that it was quite crappy of Microsoft to not make a unified installer for x64.
