Here’s the Secret Offline Installer Download for Windows Live Essentials Beta
If you’re installing Windows Live Essentials on more than one PC at a time, it’s silly to use the default installer, which downloads all the components on every single machine. Here’s how to get the full installer.
Windows expert Ed Bott first noticed the page that contains the links and posted about it over on his ZDNet blog, which is a must read if you aren’t subscribed to it already.
You’ll need to copy and paste the links into your browser address bar, which seems a little silly, so if you’re using the English version, here’s the link to the installer file.
