How To Install Windows Live Suite On 64-Bit Systems

Recently I installed Windows Server 2008 x64 to try things like Hyper-V but I have the need to do such simple things as write in blogs so I had to find a way to solve the problem cause there is no support for the Windows Live Installer.

You can download the package here: http://get.live.com/writer/overview and use the Hex editor hack found at http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com/?p=14

The instructions:

  1. Patch WLinstaller.exe
    At offset 0×1B9F0, change 74 to EB
  2. Execute WLinstaller.exe
    Attempt to install all products, ignore the installer errors and exit
  3. Navigate to %systemroot%\Syswow64\config\systemprofile\AppData\
    Local\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources
  4. Use the handy dandy chart below to install the products you want to install/update.
