Windows Live 64-bit?

Andre Da Costa

What I remember happening is I had a copy of the Windows Live Installer
executable I got from a friend at school. When I tried to install it on my
XP Professional x64 installation, it triggered some incompatibility message
and requested an update needs to be installed from Windows Update. After
installing the update, it placed a new version of the Windows Live Installer
on my desktop and installation went well. It seems there is indeed some
issues with it at times or because the programs are installed over the
Internet, new versions of the installer are required when changes to the
programs are made on Microsoft's servers.
