What did I asked?
I've only wanted to install the new version of Windows Live Writer Beta 3 on my Vista x64 machine, unfortunately the lame installer refuses to run on 64bit machines (maybe because other components may not support x64).
Where is the old working WLW single installer? I don't want the all Live package!
So here is what I did to force the WLW to run on my x64 machine:
- Install the lame WLW beta 3 on an x86 machine (XP or Vista)
- Copy/paste the "install_dir\Windows Live" folder into Program Files folder (or whatever)
- Create a shortcut to "Program Files\Windows Live\Writer\WindowsLiveWriter.exe" on your desktop and start menu
- Run it!
If you don't have an x86 machine, you can use VPC, or download a repack, zipped version of the WLW beta3 from here.
Lame solution for a lame installer. IJW!
Use it on your own risk!
