Setting preferred browser language to en-US or en-GB both redirect to the same http://get.live.com/en-us/wl/all page.

Right, i think i'll have to contact Sunshine on WLM and beg for the Photo Gallery installer. I've totally given up on this Windows Live Installer crap (as you can see in my status image). Took me almost 2 hours to install Messenger this morning. I managed to get hold of Mail from someone so installed it that way, much easier (and faster) than WL Installer

Windows Live is everything wrong about modern Microsoft, it's a disaster in my opinion.

Has anyone also noticed on messenger when you click the help menu after clicking sign in, it turns into the menu bar options?
I mentioned this to MS atleast once, and i know a few other people have.

EDIT: WLinstaller suck ass, and takes forever to load/finish.

I agree with you there. It doesn't look like there's enough communication between the various sub-divisions within Windows Live, or much thought going into it.

Windows Live has potential, if it's done properly.

Microsoft have good ideas here, just the project mangers appear to lack that edge to make good software. Windows Live is one step forward and two steps back.

As far as I see it, they're trying to advertise their new applications to a wider audience (almost everyone knows messenger but the majority of people would not know anything at all about windows live skydrive, photogallery or writer etc) the bundled installer is a good idea, but terrible implementation

I can just say this: WL installer downloaded and installed Toolbar, Sign-in assistant, WL Mail and Messenger in at most 20 minutes on my computer. Check your computers' performance :P

I agree with Lukas. i've still not managed to get the installer to download the components properly. All it managed to download was the sign-in assistant (worked first time) and Messenger (after about 4 attempts). And that's on a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 256 RAM XP Home SP2 machine with a 4Mb/s ADSL connection
