I had to reinstall my operating system. I'm using WinXP SP3. Naturally, I had to also reinstall Windows Live Essentials (ver2009). I had to set up my email accounts again but all my Contacts were still there. My problem is that all of my STORAGE FOLDERS are gone. Any idea if or how I can retrieve those?
Here is my issue. I had an issue the other day with a file on my computer msacm32.dll. I was giving me issue and wouldn't let me play certain games. I discovered I needed to free up some hardrive space. It was causing issues with unity player, and a game that loaded from Steam. 

I was also getting error messages when trying to load mail through live essentials. So I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials in an effort to re-install it to get it to work. Well the issue with the .dll was fixed the games worked fine after I cleared harddrive space, though I still had 50 GB there so don't quiet understand why it was an issue, but the problem was fixed. 

So today I tried to re-install Windows Live Essentials and it seemed to work, yet none of the shortcuts are in my start menu. I have deleted every folder I can find that is related to this program manually. WLE (short for)is not in my uninstall list from the control panel. I can't get WLE to install properly even though the program says its did. I cant delete the Windows Live Mail folders. 

If I think of any other issues attempts I'll add them.
WLM won't open, it says I need to install a Windows Live Essentials update but when I try I get an error message 0x80070005 saying only an Administrator can install the software but I am logged on as an administrator
I accidentally uninstalled windows live messenger a while ago, and no amount of attempts to download windows live essentials will bring it back. I noticed that the Outlook Pack, Bing Bar and Silverlight were not installed as well. WHAT IS WRONG T_T someone help me... running on 64bit windows 7.

I started a thread with this - error code 0xE5E0247, calendar contains corrupt data‏ - no resolution after days and days.

I completely removed Windows Live Essentials and reloaded. Now clicking "Windows Live Mail" a window comes up and says - Windows Live Mail has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution - then the next window says - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Nothing more happens.

I upgraded a 320 GB HDD to a 750 GB HDD.  Everything else from the old Hard Drive works fine.

I'm becoming frustrated.  Have had to use Hotmail and that's too cumbersome and not as easy as Window mail or Window Live Mail.

After my mandatory update to Windows Live Essentials 2011 I have lost my contact list!  Nor can I create a new contact list.  How can this situation be corrected?

When installing Windows Live Essentials 2011 I get, "Installation error 0x80040609". These are some issues that I have encountered:

  • Every time I attempt to download Messenger, I receive Error:0x80040609
  • I cannot update to the latest version because of the error message.
  • I’m unable to install Windows Live Mail, I get Error 0x80040609
  • I’m unable to install Windows Live Essentials because of the Error 0x80040609

I was trying to install the update that came up and kept failing. After uninstalling my copy of live essentials I attempted to reinstall and the install fails every time. What is preventing the program from re-installing?

 

I have tryed using the full installer instead of the upgrade and it also failed at the same spot

Hello everyone,

Whenever I try to open any of my Windows Live Essentials programs (mail, messenger etc.), I can see the process running in the task manager, but no window pops up on the screen. I decided to just uninstall WLE from the control panel, but it won't let me. When I click "uninstall/change", I get to the dialog box where it says  "remove one or more windows live programs" and "repair all windows live programs", but when I click "remove..." it won't give me the options to choose the programs to uninstall, and it just flashes a dialog box which says "Done! The programs you selected have been uninstalled", but the programs are still on my system. Is there a way around this? I just want to remove Windows Live Essentials 2011.

Thank you
