I get the following message whenever I start Live Mail

---------------------------
Assertion Failed: Abort=Quit, Retry=Debug, Ignore=Continue
---------------------------
Failed to initialize Shared Canvas: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

   at WindowsLive.Writer.CoreServices.ApplicationEnvironment.Initialize(Assembly rootAssembly, String installationDirectory, String settingsRootKeyName, String productName)

If I ignore, I can receive and read my  email. But if I try to reply or write a new email, I get the following similar message.

on 2/25/14 I received the following updates:

Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2898869)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2901126)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 for Windows 7 x64-based Systems (KB2858725)
Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.167.566.0)

Live Mail worked fine before those updates and hasn't worked properly since.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 and Live Mail 2012  (Build 16.4.3508.0205)

I keep getting an error when opening Windows Live Mail. I am running version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308) on Windows 7.

The title of the dialogue box which appears says "Assertion Failed: Abort=Quit, Retry=Debug, Ignore=Continue".  The dialogue box has alot of information which I don't realy want to trnaspose in this post but starts with "Failed to initialize Shared Canvas"System.IO.File not found exception:Could not load file or assembly "WindowsLive.Writer.Localisation, version 15.4.3508.1109, Culture=neutral ... and so on.

I have taked a screen shot so could e mail the full message if required.

Please let me know if need anything else in order to diagnose the problem and advise what can be done to fix it.
