Windows Live (Mail,P. Gallery,Messenger,Toolbar,Writer,S.I. Assistant,Family Safety) (Updated May 22, 08)

[Lolkik]

Lots of hard work to create these addons. Really enjoyed making them. I made sure everything's up to date. :sweatingbullets:

Took one hour to find a way to get the standalone installers ... :confused02:

* Live Photo Gallery requires Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition and WIC installed in order to run. I'm not sure about that, but maybe some other Live programs need them. I used Mail, Sign-In Assistant and Messenger without the SQL runtime, I installed it after Photo Gallery and Writer, so maybe they need it.

** There's no need to integrate the SQL runtime and WIC first, they're needed only for running, not for installing. You can even integrate just the programs, without the runtimes.

*** SP2/3 is required, according to Microsoft.

**** Something really idiotic about the addons - they show a progress dialog. Dumb me. Maybe I'll fix it in the near future. :doh:

EDIT : tried to fix this problem, but it persists. Argh.

***** I recommend you to put the Photo Gallery addon at the end of the list - this addon (without any apparent reason) always runs after the previous one, without waiting for it to finish. Maybe it's just in this case, with the NETFAXIO and other Live addons, but ... the addon works.

Writer requires .NET framework. I use the NETFAXIO All-in-One addon , the silent version.

All addons tested and working under nLite 1.4.5.

Windows Live Photo Gallery is a great tool. Thanks for making it into an addon!

which one are you referring to?

[Lolkik]

The Live Installer downloads and installs the Live programs by downloading an MSI and executing it silently. That's how I got them.

Just downloaded, installed, uninstalled and kept the installer.

EDIT : it refers to all of the Live addons. Some are silent, some need switches, but all came from Live Installer.

BTW , Great addons...

[Guest hairbawl87]

Thank you so much, lolkik. You've saved me alotta time! Have tested on a VM and everything appears to be working great.

[Lolkik]

Thank you so much, people.

tamilcheetas : yes, I'll try to integrate WIC and the SQL runtime with the Photo Gallery addon.

Really thanks, everybody. Today I have a Java exam in school ... now I'm both nervous and happy.

EDIT: I added a new addon for you, tamilcheetas. I tested the silent installer, it works.

hi..

any chance of updating Windows Live Messenger to version 9 ?

[Lolkik]

I'll update to version 9 when it reaches the final version, Live downloader installs version 8.5 . V9 is still in beta.

[KsbjA]

Just what I was looking for ! Awesome, big thanks!

[Guest DennyMK]

Thank you very much.

[joncgde2]

I registered just to thank you for this, will come in VERY handy for my unattended install

Just wondering whether it's possible to get Photo Gallery to open jpgs, pngs, etc. by default with a reg entry or something? I know it asks you on first run, but it would be nice to completely bypass the default viewer automatically.

[Gerhard]

I registered just to say Thank You as well.

Great Effort, Thanks!

I was wondering if you have any plans to update this to the 2009 versions? I mainly just want to get Live Photo Gallery (14.0.8064.206).

Would be great if you could, or maybe share how you do it. Thanks.
