I wanted the full download for Windows Live Essentials so I could deploy them to other computers without re-downloading, so I searched for a deployment or network administrator download and couldn’t find it. So I went back to my canceled download window after having given up and decided to do the network install, and the “try again” button downloads the full installer! So I couldn’t find it, but I accidentally stumbled upon it. If you want the whole install package for redeployment, cancel the first download and hit the “try again” button.
Thanks for the info. I knew the full download was available because I had the full download from about a year ago, but couldn’t find it as easily this time. Needed the updated version for deploying to multiple clients. Not sure why Windows Live isn’t handed out via WSUS. I guess it’s not much of a business solution.
