Get it together
Now some partners and customers have notices a little problem - getting this great stuff running on 64-bit Windows. An extract from anti|tgtsoft shows the best way forward (which is obviously not supported, but all told seems to work just fine):
Here’s how to get the latest builds installed on your machine:
- Patch WLinstaller.exe
At offset 0×1B9F0, change 74 to EB
- Execute WLinstaller.exe
Attempt to install all products, ignore the installer errors and exit
- Navigate to %systemroot%\Syswow64\config\systemprofile\AppData\
Local\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources
- Use the handy dandy chart below to install the products you want to install/update.
